    They did last year as well. I recall there being some racy stuff that was being blocked out by black boxes placed by the admins, and people were able to track admin and mod accounts (like spez) that were placing pixels instantly with no cooldown. People were pissed then already, and the admin/mod response was basically “get wrecked we too smort lulz”

    Place even last year was blatantly a ploy to give reddit more free and controllable content.

      also there are bot tools that can effectively print images straight to the canvas with thousands of bot accounts, and have them automatically maintained and repaired.

      Theres no fun in it with shit like that going on.

      Yeah it’s not new. It’s honestly kind of irritating that that was the case, even if every single person contributing to those clouds were actually real people ; yet botters from more “favored” communities are unscathed.

      The more I read about Reddit underlying issues, the more happier I get for leaving.

      I mean, I might be wrong but it looks like its getting run by dictatorship kind of behavior.

      Currently the content on Reddit is pretty dry apart from the niche subreddits I’m in. But the majority of subreddits are pretty much reposts of old stuff.
