      They made a website around avoiding spam to the point where it inconvenienced everyone and led to a pile on every time someone tried to share their work, yet sold everyone’s data to AI scrapers and the Chinese. Terrible company.

      From a time / money standpoint, it’s costly to create an account on reddit. You have to have a certain account age and karma to even post in a lot of subreddits, which is an investment of time. Spammers replace time with money buy purchasing access to clean IPs, paying people to set up accounts and spam for karma. The only people who are going to create new reddit accounts, at this rate, are those expecting some kind of return on this time investment.
