Honestly, I’d be happy if most bots were gone. Even the “helpful” ones. 12 years on reddit and I can count on one hand the number of self-identifed novelty bot accounts that didn’t immediately annoy me. Oh, you wrote a bot that identifies when a post is a haiku or when the words in a comment are in alphabetical order? Very clever. No thanks.
Bots. Endless bots where you don’t know if the comment or post is a real person. Sign ups need a barrier to filter out bots.
