Thanks for letting me know I’m not crazy for getting mad deja vu reading through big comment chains recently. I wonder if this is a 3rd party karma farming/account selling operation or if Reddit is trying to make itself seem more populated.
Yeah, could be. Being complicit in allowing third parties to do this gives an easy way to recycle content while still providing plausible(ish) deniability. Because these are exact copies, it would be pretty easy for Reddit to detect and ban these bots if they wanted to.

Possibly both
