Watching and learning is key. Spend enough time in a subreddit and you can guess what the top comment will be before opening the post, spend enough time on reddit in general and you'll see patterns in these top comments.

Starting small, look for beginner posts on a hobby, they will repeat or rephrase questions that have been asked before and there will always be a common community approved best answer.

Building it up use the top patterns you see and apply them to broad subreddits like pics, memes etc... and rack up upvotes on repeating unoriginal but community approved comments

I'll add that you can accelerate this process by using something like the Wayback Machine to see what was on top in previous months/years at different points. This can allow you to study across time without having to wait on time to pass.

Here's the URL to search for to see what were the top posts in the past month on the pics subreddit, for example:

Code: 
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/top/?t=month

http://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/top/?t=month

Some people will take this to mean that you simply copy the posts and change the heading, which can work, but actually studying it is something else.

Yes and you can also sort by "Top" and "All Time" within reddit, doesn't give you as good of a snapshot as when it was popular just be mindful of the post date.

Something else to consider is the subreddits post "flair". Any post tagged meme, joke, humor, etc... it's generally acceptable to post a low effort comment on.
