For what I follow, it looks genuine.

However, for many viral posts, many of the responses have nothing to do with the original post. It looks like bots/users that are riding off of the success of the viral post in an attempt to get more views/likes/followers. It's a sad behaviour that lessens the experience of the platform.

Yup, a lot of them, specially in posts that post interesting facts etc. I mute every account like that, and get a lot better experience now.
