They're trying hard to make it like this is some issue about moderators, but they're just the most vocal group complaining about reddit trying to lock down its entire service for monetization and harming all users (and especially vulnerable users) in the process. Always be mindful of people trying to shift the focus like that.
They're ramping up bots to cover the loss of users.
Very very few people actually post, and a little more comment. But as bot posts became the majority, lurkers are going to start leaving as quality dips.
Maybe just me, but I totally want to see a Reddit where everyone actually is a bot.
There used to be a subreddit like that. Haven't seen it in years. Not sure if it still exists.
