I think reddit supported the repost bots as it drove up engagement and prevented people’s feeds from getting ‘stale.’ They even admitted that in the beginning they would use fake accounts to post things and make the site seem more active than it really was.
As mentioned, users did create bots to detect not only repost bots but comment reposting bots as well. Reddit honestly has zero incentive to eliminate either of these.
Add a hard captcha in order to allow posting on specific communities that would be targets for bots, like c/memes. Like a very fucked up captcha.
