Alien.top’s raison-d’etre is to create bots and repost things from Reddit.
The instance makes a bot with the same username as the poster from reddit, then makes a bot with the same username as all the commenters, and re-posts each comment.
Every alien.top user in this thread is a bot.

I did a quick check, and it looks like 138 of the comments are bots.
Agreed. Although I’m not a user of the sales bot, I think it provides value for others.
