      Yeah, but at least this post is interesting; it shows how godawful humanity as a whole is at detecting bots in the wild.

      2 out of 400 bad.

        Could simply be that only 2 have been fully banned by Reddit but most have tons of subreddit bans and/or shadowbans. On the other hand, Reddit is such a cesspit these days I wouldn’t be too shocked if they just exist on Reddit shitposting slop

        That assumes that Reddit actually wants to ban bots. But as long as they’re not too obvious, the bots are valuable to them, since they inflate the user count.

          “Bots? No, no, those are active users. They also don’t use adblockers, so they’ve better than regular users!”
