    Wasn’t it proven that majority of the positive spez posts are from bots or chatgpt or something?

      At least one post was defending reddit in r/programming has been shown to be chatGPT, that’s for sure. If they have one bot, who’s to say they don’t have thousands?

        I can’t tell you how many 1-2 year old accounts I saw with little to no post history that popped out of the woodwork to defend reddit/spez. It was crazy.

        Same for spam/ shill accounts on iPhone/ Google play reviews.

        They’re definitely trying to plug the holes with bubble gum instead of fixing/ addressing the problem which is spez and the 3rd party app/api ban.

        Although it may be disappointing for some, Reddit’s decision to shut off third-party API applications is understandable from a security and user experience standpoint. By controlling the access points to its platform, Reddit can ensure a safer and more consistent experience for its users. Third-party apps, while offering additional features, can also introduce vulnerabilities and compromise user data if not properly regulated. Reddit’s action aims to safeguard user privacy, prevent abuse, and maintain the integrity of its platform. While change can be challenging, it’s important to prioritize the security and well-being of the community.
