Yet this little hidden gem rests at the bottom of the page after the article.

Volunteer-made project that fights bots on Reddit is shutting down

Grab some popcorn, the bots are coming.

I was just going to say this. Holding on to the illusion of power as a major moderator is about to turn into a shitshow. Even Reddit themselves have been caught using chat bots to sway public opinion.

Reddit has decided to make every bad decision (favoring profits) possible, all at once.

Please come to lemmy, we will need BotDefende pretty soon.

As a biological language model, I disagree.

This feels a bit like Reddit is that city planning guy who insists on opening the Ghost Containment Unit in Ghostbusters.

Peck was a part of the EPA and had legitimate reasons to investigate them.

Venkman was a dick and didn't cooperate with Peck's investigation, so Peck got pissed and went nuclear on their ass cause he thought they were charlatans.

The guy who actually flipped the switch even told Peck he's never seen anything like that and didn't want to do it.

But Reddit does have a dick: its CEO.

I really wonder about bot synergy. How many haiku's will one not write that another will correct the spelling on and a third find that all words are in alphabetical order?

Then another bot will repost the original and start the cycle over again.
