The bigger news here is that Reddit, as a policy, allows bot posting (organic posting) as long as you’re buying ads from them.

C’mon, is it news? Isn’t that the reason we’re all here?

I mean there’s gut feeling and then there’s real actual evidence.

Exactly.
It’s one thing for Reddit to be taking action against automated posting and just be doing a shitty job. At least they’d be TRYING to fight against this source of toxic societal corrosive.
It’s a whole other kind of immoral to see that their anti-bot activities are simply cover for the enforcement branch of their ad sales department. Bots are not against the rules at all, spamming communities to create false consensus is A-OK with Reddit as long as the check clears.
Fuck Spez even more. I heard he was a moderator on r/jailbait for quite some time, btw
