IKR, I left reddit a couple of years ago when they did the API thing, and even then it felt like there were a lot of bots around. I can only imagine that's increased massively with Gen AI having become so ubiquitous. If I were an advertiser or investor, that's a question that would worry me.
Advertisers and investors are drinking the same coolaid. It's the customers of those advertisers that need to be questioning their ad space purchases.
