Because the sheer quantity of comments in comparison to the tiny amount of users and subs is nuts, each user would have been required to do ~250 minimum comments each if my hair brained maths is correct, a ratio which far exceeds any other community here by miles, or am I just missing some key context here?

I genuinely have no idea, it could go either way but I’m leaning towards bots due to just how relatively colossal those numbers are.

    As a long time lurker I can say they are incredibly active (which is really impressive because many comments are also of high quality and depth) but there is also one particular bot that archived r/GenZedong and by that added 6k posts and 48k comments alone.

    EDIT: Eh probably not the latter one, since these post/comments went to a dedicated community not the general GZD.

      An archival bot makes perfect sense, thanks for the answer!
