Funny situation or not (I agree, it's funny), that's a great comparison because this bot does right what most Reddit bots do wrong:

  • It's properly marked as a bot.
  • It's not avoiding detection.
  • It's doing a specific job.
  • It's not trying to convince you of something.
  • It's not intrusive or disrupting user activity.
