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.

    I wouldn’t know, because I have not once opened new reddit, old.reddit doesn’t show followers, and I am banned anyway so haven’t visited the site in weeks.

    It’s an open secret that reddit tacitly allows bots that generate engagement on the site, so most all the followers are probably just random bots, either reddit-run or no.
