Are there any real people here?

So I've been on this site for nearly a week now, made a few posts (nothing groundbreaking, just... well, stuff) and read and voted on a few others.
Almost all of the comments i see on here are the same, repeated verbatim on each post.
So I'm starting to wonder to myself if this place is actually still active?
There are one or two types of posts that seem to garner real person looking responses, mostly those about crypto, or complaints about bots.
So either this forum is mostly populated by bots, or its populated by a group of friends that only come on to look for stuff their friends have posted and leave bots to make it look like they're actually paying attention to the rest.

Doesnt really bother me either way. Just curious as to what the deal is with this place.

If you are a real person reading this, could you just leave a comment saying the phrase "Billy, I'm not a bot". Just so i can do a tally.

Thank you.

Beep beep boop, I am human.

There are many active users here, but they do tend to cluster around and respond to posts that are already popular and made by well-known users. To get to a point where more users create and interact with original content, we need a broader user base. That just takes time, and a fuller feature set. The site is still in beta.

The bot problem is being addressed. Have a read here for example:

Billy, I'm not a bot, too :)
Think here are 1 or 2 Humans more than we think :)

#notabot, also don't worry about the spam bots, there are solutions in the works that will make this place seem more human pretty soon, hopefully.

Billy, I'm not a bot - I'm real Human from Germany :)
Good Post...

no there are no humans here sorry.
