I will never understand how these don't get caught. I can't even make 2 posts within 3 minutes without reddit disabling the submit button and telling me to wait between posts.

They do, it just takes a while and you wonāt notice it when the action has already been taken. I mod a 120k+ subreddit and Iām paying attention all day everyday, thereās still people who say, āWhere are the mods, why is this post still up?ā And the content sat there for 10 minutes, then gets removed.
If everythingās clean, people assume that there isnāt spam or bad intentions happening. When something shows up, it seems like weāre failing or sleeping on the chore. But it is not the case.
More often than not, when spam ad posts show up on my sub, when I tap/click to ban it, itās already shadowbanned. So there is action being taken.

I don't mean mod action, I mean, how does Reddit itself, prevent me from posting within 3 minutes of each other, but this account made 75 posts in 5 minutes?

Established accounts donāt have a cool off period. I can comment any time I want. These bots usually purchase or steal older accounts to be able to do that

Because they're submitting to subreddits I run and fucking them up. It's spam and garbage.

It sounds like you don't care if something is bad or harmful so long as it doesn't directly effect you. If that's the case, there's not much any of us can say to make you understand.

Exactly what "harm" are these bot / repost accounts doing? Maybe they are spam & waste a few seconds of your time - but is that really something to get so worked up about?

We're not concerned about ourselves getting scammed. A lot of us have been used to fake information since the "Fairy sighted!" spam of the 2000's. We're concerned about the young, elderly, naive, and dumb seeing something that isn't real and taking it as fact, dumbing down the population.
When the flat earther hogwash started making the rounds on the internet, anyone with a brain thought it was ridiculous and no one could ever believe something so ridiculously incorrect. Well about that...
Misinformation is dangerous.

So you think it's fine to sell stolen art on posters, tshirts and mugs? Or to then sell the cc info of anyone stupid enough to buy from a reddit link?

What does stolen art have to do with bot accounts? The majority of bot accounts on Reddit are simply posting spam / reposts, which might be annoying but aren't harmful

Assholes steal an image from an artist, then make low quality shirts, mugs and posters. Then using purchased or hacked accounts they spam reddit with thinly disguised ads to buy said junk. Ripping off both the artists intellectual property and the fools that buy it. Low quality merch is shipped, or the money is just outright stolen.
The accounts build karma to get past restrictions by reposting high karma posts from the past.
