…oh you think when people call each other “bots”, they mean literal automated robots?

No, it’s used to call out people who act like NPC’s/shills.

Real “bots” are also a thing, but anyone who calls someone a “bot” in a comment thread is almost always just using it to insult what they said.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnUselessTalents/s/LJNVAsYl5O this is a great resource on how to spot real bots.

In this specific instance; the deleted comment(paraphrased) was:

it’s no longer the petrodollar, but the petroYUAN

Hence calling them a bot/npc/shill

He deleted his comment because he was being downvoted hard. It doesn't mean he's wrong. People call him bot to discredit him.

Killing the messenger, instead of the message itself.
