AI Is Poisoning Reddit to Promote Products and Game Google With 'Parasite SEO'

Screw Spez/Musk too? Aight but if a critical mass flees the spam-ridden husks of reddit/Twitter, the bots will come for us too.

Yeah, guys like Belogubov won't stop at Reddit, they'll infest every forum on the web to make even more money.
What can we do?
Human moderation of course, but against bots this might be a loosing battle.
So good AIs to fight bad AIs?
Or, if push comes to shove, white hats could take down the ReplyGuy website and the likes.

This guy is bad for the internet. He’ll expand his business. Competitors will follow him. Already a dozen businesses offering this, I think the article cited, and that’s just who they could find.

We’re on the open web right now. Take the story as a harbinger. Of poop.

Spez is a big Musk fan, and wants to catch up on the enshittification of his platform...

Ah so Reddit is going to be even more of a shithole than it currently is. Wonderful.
