I’m a few months, there will be at least a 50% chance that comment or post you are replying to is a bot.

It already feels this way. A lot of them are the most basic comments or don't make any sense at all.

Part of why I liked the Apollo app was that it could show account ages. There'd be a post from a 23-day-old account, and a heavily-upvoted thread with witty comments from a 24-day-old account, replied to by a 22-day-old account, replied to by a 27-day-old account.

It really sucks because I'm working on stuff I'd love to share with people, but sharing content on reddit would feel dirty. I haven't done anything but lurk the stable diffusion subreddit using Brave in over a month.

Could also have been old-timers that have had accounts repeatedly banned by admins for bullshit reasons. But yeah more likely just bots lol.
