I see it too. I don't click on hardly any of them, but scrolling through reddit I see tons of "what's your favorite tv show for (XXXXXXXX)" posts listed under r/television, and "Can anyone recommend a movie where (XXXXXXX)" posts under r/movies.

I had the exact though about an AI doing it as it's really ramped up in the last week or so.

I almost made a joke post this morning asking "what's your favorite tv show to watch while throwing eggs at your neighbors 2012 Altima?" just to keep in spirit with all the other posts.

I've noticed all the general entertainment subs like this one r/gaming, r/Music, and r/movies all have had these types of posts flooding them. If you want good discussion you really have to dig into some more niche subs.

Oh thank god it’s not just me, I was rolling through some of those threads and getting real confused with what sub I was in. My good old “predict” the top 3 replies game that I play in my head for some of those was getting scarily accurate.

/r/games is much better than /r/gaming. I don't know if there's an equivalent for /r/television

There was a while where it took over Reddit in nearly all subs, where somebody just asked a question but put an image as the post.

This actually got to the point where of all subs /r/gaming had enough and banned them. If you're gonna ask a question, just ask the fucking question.

You can easily look through the profile to see if its a bot or not, but I think yall would just rather keep holding on to yall conspiracy theories
