    Let’s not forget reddit has a history of using bots to create the impression that the site is more active than it is. I don’t think it’s at all unlikely that that’s going on here.

      This was exactly my first thought too. Afterall, the API is still free right now too, so they can use as many 3rd party bots as they want to influence public opinion.
