Why did Reddit ban me for saying 'this sub is overrun with bots'?

Got a permanent ban from a hobby sub last month. I just pointed out that half the comments were obvious bot accounts replying to each other. Mod said I was 'harassing users'. Anyone else get slapped for calling out bots?

Read a piece recently that said mods often hit back hard when you call out bots because it exposes how dead their subs really are. They'd rather ban the messenger than admit their community is mostly ghost town conversation. Sounds like you just hit a nerve with someone who didn't want to admit their sub was circling the drain.

Hmm, permanent ban does seem a bit heavy for just pointing that out.
