Maybe I found a large number of bot accounts.
Not really. I have made a list with 147 accounts from a single entity and this list is yet to be completed.

The first list is dedicated to copy/paste and the 2nd one for reporting those bumpers/spammers so that mod can take a step.
bots are usually used to post nonsensical off-topic replies in multiple threads around the forum in order to increase the activity points of an account which could later be used to participate in bounties.
Not true at all. bots were used for increasing activity back in the day when there was no merit system for upgrading. Nowadays, bot accounts are used for bumping ANN and bounty thread. I want to redirect you here with an explanation.
2. Bounty managers payment are based on participants. The more participants are there, the more payment will be given. That's why they bump the bounty thread so that they can get eyed by participants. I have solid proof of this one.
BTW, It's true that most of the accounts listed here are not bot.
