    I thought the names followed that format because that’s the format reddit used for suggestions when signing up.

    I think the accounts are kind of “warmed up” this way to make them harder for reddit to identify as bots when they’re used for vote manipulation.

    Like a bot that just voted in /r/politics threads world be easier to identify than one which comments here and there and gets a few upvotes itself.
