Why do people on websites like YouTube or Reddit always assume an account must be a bot if that account wrote an opinion they didn’t agree with?

I was a mod on Reddit for a little while. Every subreddit is an echo chamber, and every moderator has like 5 fake accounts. They bully people. There's nothing real about that place. They have every tool to silence and ban people for nothing. Reddit is a scam, and YouTube shadowbans people left and right. On YouTube I only comment positive things on the content that I like. If you go against the grain anywhere, they'll put you on a list, and then they'll start shadowbanning you.

It is only an excuse to censor. They know it is not a bot. For this reason i write phonetically spell "sheild*' so admins know not to censor me.

Bot accounts do exist but it’s a bit ignorant to assume every single account online that writes a comment you don’t agree with must be a bot. There are real people out there who don’t share the same opinion as you.

Why? Stupid people exist, that's why.
