    I’m rather certain that a number of the ‘top level’ subreddits are not only aware and OK with the bots on their subs but are intentionally keeping them around to boost activity.

    I kept an account around for a good while after the API changes until it was perma banned for “report abuse.” I only reported bots who were stealing comments word for word.
