Alexis Ohanian said that the internet is less human now, and much more "quasi-AI."
"I think we'll see a next generation of social media emerge that's verifiably human," he said on TBPN.
Ohanian mentioned the "dead internet theory," which Sam Altman has also recently referenced.

i always criticized various times, when on reddit articles like these pop up about reddit having too much bots, reddit doesnt do enough to stop them, goes after normal people, of course there are serial people that get banned. buts nothing like the bots/spammers. the ones that can bypass this already can do it with hundreds of accounts. reddit needs the bots to look like they have alot of users, plus propaganda helps with a constant stream of engagement. im on another forum where they have various tactics/paid methods to game the system, they arnt stopped although they said reddit recently changed something so thier detection is even better now.

my theory is reddit doesnt want to spend any resources Moderating people anymore, they just want people to just browse the site and log on, of course ad revenue exposure.
