Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?

Like people always say reddit is filled with bots, but I looked through the users of the top posts and didn't find evidence that they are bots.

Like how do you know who is a bot? Is there things to look out for?

Edit: And I'd appreciate it if there are real examples of bots getting caught and the evidence of them being bots.

- Oh no I might be a bot and didn't know it yet
- Wow, thanks man. Guess I'm going to be looking for bots now. Never knew they were that prevalent and diverse.
  
  That’s exactly what a BOT would say!!
  
  Agree, 10/10
