Oh, I would have thought Reddit themselves would offer such a service
Don’t give spez ideas
He’s got to get them from somewhere. They certainly aren’t coming from his little piggy brain.
Please don’t insult the pigs, they’re smart and sensitive creatures
Reddit is past the point of no return. He might as well speed it up a little.
That would be an unmarked ad. I don’t think that’s legal in many places
It’s gross, but also inevitable. If there’s an untapped niche to make money from, somebody’s going to try it – plus if they want to waste their money on generating accounts only to have them be banned, then so be it.
Makes me kinda thankful that this community is smaller and less likely to be targeted by this sort of crap.
Doesn’t mean that the fediverse is immune.
News stories and narratives are still fought over by actors on all sides and sometimes by entities that might be bots. And there are a lot of auto-generating content bots that post stuff or repost old content from other sites like Reddit.
Especially since being immune to censorship is kind of the point of the fediverse.
If you’re even a tiny bit smart about it, you can start hundreds of sock puppet instances and flood other instances with bullshit.
The only reason reddit was valuable was because it was from real people who weren’t paid off. Well that’s ruined now.
When the internet is eventually oversaturated with smartbots, where will the humans go.
“The Matrix”, obviously.
To a new social media platform where you have to send in a DNA sample to create an account.
That creates a market for morticians and midwifes creating preauthenticated accounts to sell to bot farms

If only people moved to an open and federated platform. I mean I don’t have to say that I hate reddit since I’m here but still whenever I Google a problem reddit answers are one of the most useful places. Especially about something local.
If the rumor is true that a reddit/google training deal is what led to reddit getting boosted in search results, this would be a direct result of reddit’s own actions.
yeah, the internet is doomed to be unusable if AI just keeps getting more insidious like this
yet more companies tie themselves to online platforns, websites, and other models of operation depending on being always connected.
maybe the world needs a reboot, just get rid of it all and start from scratch
maybe the world needs a reboot, just get rid of it all and start from scratch
That would destroy all the old good vintage stuff and leave us with machines that immediately fill the vacant space with pure trash.
Yeah this isn’t new.
Ever wonder why you are such a fan of shitty played out franchises?
