So to me it looks like the post with all the upvotes is the original, and the other one is a copy with alt accounts mimicking every single comment. Other than the upvotes, most of those accounts have some arbitrary number tacked onto the end of their username.
It's not a useful distinction for determining whether someone is human or a bot. Reddit began suggesting usernames a few years ago and they all look like Randomword-Randomword-Randomnumber. I've read comment chains in the past where newer Reddit users were even unaware that they could choose their own account name. There just seems to be a new generation of people who can't even be assed to read the signup prompts and just keep clicking "OK" until they have a brand new Reddit account.
So, what do you're saying is that some click bots are made from flesh.
If people are too stupid to read signup prompts, they may as well be considered bots for all intents and purposes
