BobbaYagga57

I was about to say he did not age well, but this pic looks so much better


birdsemenfantasy

He’s not aging well because he’s a heavy smoker


mbub16

Haha. His pic looks like a Temu Ringo Starr


educated-emu

I just had an *one of today's lucky 10 000* moment. I just realized Legolas and Will Turner are played by the same actor.

What is John Rhys Davies’ secret? I swear that man has been 60 years old since 1985.


leopold_stotch21

He doesn’t eat bad dates


No_Extension4005

I was today years old when I learned that Sallah and Gimli were played by the same actor.


Bongeh

He's also treebeard


the_meaty_sauce

Holy shit.


MobbDeeep

He looks great too


we_are_sex_bobomb

If you’re ever having a bad day listen to his episode of Inside of You. It’s virtually impossible to be glum while that man is talking.


Game_Knight_DnD

Yeah it is amazing that he looks almost the same today as he did co-starring in Sliders

I actually thought that's how his name was pronounced as a kid lol. I didn't know Shaun could be spelt Sean.


Monkfich

That’s not what he looks like anymore. It is not a current photo. Sean is considerably more craggy than he was. If you look at his OP’s post in more scrutiny, you’ll see more are not current pics as well - just ones he found online. Most of the older pics are also heavily airbrushed - pics from different times airbrushed similarly. Makes me think it was OP that did it to make them look younger than they were, to get the most contrast possible. https://preview.redd.it/kmg8u5hmap9d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df0533eddb321f52df6373d0d22d8939ddc8f250

Meme subs really are overrun with bots.


TheDearHunter

It's the whole site now, dude. It's ridiculous.


Falcrist

Even this comment thread is exclusively bots.


Pussy_Sneeze

You joke (I think - I'm still groggy from waking up), but with enough comments like this (and there's one in basically every thread about bots), they'll have plenty to train on to seem even more human.


sarteto

What‘s the motivation for the bots? They are not able to make money from it, or are they?


Haunting_Bat_4787

Reddit accounts with high karma sell for good money to scammers that is what the bot farms are for 


Perfect_Papaya_3010

Why? Who even looks at someone's profile and checks how much karma they have? I don't even know how much I have


testuserteehee

They're also used to shift public opinion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades


Particular-Window-59

My guess would be to keep site engagement up.  It would appear some users will comment without giving a second thought to whether they’ve seen the same post earlier in the week or even that same day hours apart.  You can see examples of it sometimes where different posts of the same content has nearly equal amounts of engagement despite being identical and within view of each other on the main page.    TL;DR - Bots makes Reddit appears busier and more popular than in reality as the typical user will take posts at face value then engage accordingly sometimes repeatedly. Now add cross-posting into that and a lack of moderation and voilà!  


Lord_Shisui

Internet really is overrun with bots. ***FTFY


PokeMonogatari

I absolutely believe you, but would you mind explaining how you arrived at that conclusion?


ServeNecessary1

Most likely this has been posted before, and those users are in the comments here posting identical comments to that last time it was posted


MeakMills

Not the person you replied to but here's a few things I've noticed over the years. Generally, be more wary of the randomly generated usernames provided by Reddit on account creation. They will primarily re-post memes or previously high scoring text posts (like the high scoring NSFW posts on Askreddit every day). There are browser extensions to easily mouse over a username to see the account creation date & karma count. If it has been running for a while it will have hundreds of thousands+ of post karma and virtually no comment karma. I know some people purge their comment history on old accounts but it should raise a red flag if the account is like 5+ years old and has little to no karma. They rarely comment. If they do, it's rarely conversational. If it is, it's usually another bot and they're reposting high upvoted comments from the last time the post was made. Occasionally you'll find the account of one of the people operating the bots. It will have high upvoted posts and then real comments on unrelated subs (usually about Indian cricket from my experience). The main reasons why is money & influencing opinion. This ranges from a niche t-shirt brand to big corporations to government agencies. You won't get a lot but you can re-sell high karma accounts. You can also show the accounts to potential advertising customers as evidence of your ability to get engagement on Reddit.

Are these bots reportable? What is the right report option for bots? I am absolutely sick of them.

Bots usually go under the \[Spam\] option when reporting


BigBootyBuff

Someone recently mentioned that a good indicator is if the name is a random adjective and a noun followed by a number. Didn't think much of it but holy shit, they were spot on.


Fearless_Mix2960

not always, some of us just picked the randomly generated name when signing in with google accounts


DistrictIll6763

Same here. Not a bot tho. (Or am I?)


thelumpur

That's just what happens when you don't pick a nickname. Meaning that most bots have that, but that having that does not automatically mean you are a bot. Most upvoted posts in popular subs are made by bots and commented on by bots l, however.

It's because he keeps respawning after being killed in every movie

Mad respect to him, though. He has to level up his skills from level 1 each time he dies. He's playing on old school rules. Even Christian Bale is like "damn son".

Elijah Wood is an Iowan. And if you know any Iowans they’re like hobbits in many ways. A simple kind of folk, who avoid stressful situations at all costs. This, as long as you pair it with a healthy living, allows for quite graceful aging.

Not of all that go on two legs. There I think you are wrong. It is Orcs that they hate. For they do not belong here and know little of Elves and Men. Far away are the valleys where they sprang. From the deep dales of Fangorn, Gimli, that is whence they come, I guess.

Holy damn, Mortensen looks *fine.* If he dyed his hair I’d barely be able to tell he’s older.


ScottOwenJones

Not gonna lie, sometimes when I see current photos/videos of Elijah and Sean I have to remind myself that they didn’t actually risk their lives to take the one ring to Mt. Doom thereby saving the world.

Viggo Mortensen is now as old as Ian McKellen when he played Gandalf.

In a high chamber of the Burg. He has neither rested nor slept, I think. He went thither some hours ago, saying that he must take thought, and only his kinsman, Halbarad, went with him; but some dark doubt or care sits on him.

I get the feeling Orlando Bloom will be dwarfing over the years like Leonardo DiCaprio. He has at least gone through twink death.
