I would be surprised if Reddit was selling tools like that directly. Rather than just look the other way - because uncovering modern bot operations is a thankless threadmill, and user engagement metrics from fake users are still user engagement metrics.
to be fair, i once accidentally ended up on shreddit or new reddit or whatever they call it nowadays and i think there's something for managing your posts on reddit and seeing analytics about that or whatever

this significantly overestimates how sophisticated the spam waves are compared to like ability. the 80% of spam filtering basically never was really done as far as i can tell.
