it also doesn’t help reddit much that a bot detection service that caught something like 100-150k bots so far shut down nearly all operations due to the api pricing and reddit’s behavior over the protest. they stopped detection of new bots and are only keeping the lights on for three months to let any unbans roll in.
(they’re not unbanning bots though, just giving people a fair appeal process, something reddit inc itself could learn from)
