Have you been gaining followers on Reddit too? (sh.itjust.works)

I have been lurking on Reddit for 5 years with only one follower. In last 5 days, I got 6 followers out of nowhere. Do anyone living same thing? Could Reddit have fallen that far? Also, when I look at my follower list, I still have that one loyal follower.

I hope I'm not doing conspiracy theory.

Yeah I've been getting about 1 a day. All clearly devised to be attractive to my demographic.

But also clearly bots.

Not sure what's the best /most fun thing to do with it though.

I get lots of NSFW-followers, who then turn out to have been banned / deleted.

I had all that disabled, so I have no idea if anyone was ever following me. And I deleted my rif app on the 11th haven't been on Reddit since, so I will never know.

They're all bots. Look at the names. They likely all follow the same weird pattern of nonsensical words.

As I know, that is auto generated username by Reddit. But you are probably right about they are bots.
