Because they are not active. Some people could make an account and not bother using it, but not that many, that quickly.
Perhaps, but how do we separate inactive bot accounts from inactive accounts by people who are checking out what all the commotion is after the Reddit fiasco and just lurking in the new spaces? I feel like that's a really inconclusive data point right now.
Look at the rate of subscriptions in the instance pages. This is not humans doing this.
Probably by the amount of account creations per IP. That would at least be the simplest way. I can understand having alts or inactive accounts but those aren't the problem, the bots account for probably around 85% or so of accounts by now.
