I just logged into reddit and it didn’t work until I completely disabled uBlock Origin. The first time ever. Sooo… what are they using to keep out those bots?
Other bots
Reddit will tighten verification to
keep out human-like AI botscollect and sell as much data on its users as possibleWhat stops people from doing a real human verification and then just handing the account off to a bot?
I need to ask - what is “real human verification”? 🙃
You can’t personally create tens of thousands of accounts, you can pay slave labor in China but that still costs more.
Nothing, it’s just additional friction and cost to create them
So it’s that meme with the gate with no fence.
Maybe a knee high fence. It will slow the most basic and casual botting, and maybe eliminate some of that very very basic ROI, but it won’t do anything to stop the real professionals.
We see countless examples in games. It’s an arms race and all you can do is mitigation. As long as there’s something to be gained from botting, they’ll exist. It’s only a matter how much.
Only the bots they like are allowed.
Why does he look like he’s about to say “my precious…”
