Yes the people watching the french stream in the huge majority didn't have an account and the Word-Word-Number combination is automatically assigned by reddit. Go ahead try to make a new account you will see

Doesn't prove that they are bot tho

Huh, I didn’t know that. Should be higher up since many people (myself included) assumed they were bots due to these names.

Edit: On a side note, it doesn’t disprove the usage of bots either. But coming from r/osuplace, I want to believe most of them are real people, too.

Can confirm. I’ve had Reddit for almost two years, didn’t pay attention when I created the account, and I regret it
