the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments

That is EXACTLY why I did it. I thought that if I could get more users to report those accounts, and if they did, the mods and admins would do something about it.

Not coincidentally, /r/wholesomememes was the worst of all the subs. The overwhelming majority of obvious organized bot rings were operating there. The mods told me they knew and didn't care because it was an opportunity for users to see content they hadn't seen before (completely missing the point)
