        Yeah, looks like the default “word_wordnumbers” usernames that reddit gives you if don’t change them.

        I wonder if that would be an easy way to detect botting by not filling in that field for them.

          This change is when I knew Reddit was going down the shitter. Automatically handing out default usernames instead of requiring you to pick your own. The only people that could possibly help are a) people with absolutely no imagination whatsoever, b) bots, and c) people making a dozen alts to puff up their main.
