sadly, nothing on reddit can be trusted anymore. Not only AI bots, but mods ban and delete users who do not espouse a narrow view, Basically, if you do not fit into their “reddit/facebook/whatever/commerce IPO reddit world”, then you are banned. Reddit has become a massive echo chamber of people and bots rubbing each other’s backs.
Sorry but reddit has died. I wonder if people realise much of the banning and moderation is done with algorithms. If the algorithms find you do not fit in, you will be repeatedly permabanned forever.
