The bot problem is probably domestic. Reddit has much more to gain from artificially driving engagement than any "foreign adversary".

Honesty I think the big political subs are incredibly bot infested. Political content is an amazing way to make people mad and get them to spend more time on a platform, increasing engagement and letting reddit deliver more ads. It's not like it would be the first time they used bots to drive engagement and make communities look bigger.
