  Unless they get creative this likely won’t do anything but piss off the human users. Research from a couple years ago found that bots are better than people at captchas.

  This is all about increasing the value of Reddit to advertisers.

  Reddit still isn’t able to fight back against those simple repost bots that copy old posts with the same title. That should be easy to detect.

    That was pretty much always an option. Just a setting. The problem isn’t mods, though some of them are part of the symptom.

  Add as many as you want, I’m still not going back.

  Sounds like Reddit wants to ensure that 90%+ of all traffic gets blocked.

  It already blocks me from reading access for some time because of VPN. I have to use libreddit on the web or redreader on mobile to access. This made me lurk reddit less, never had an account there anyway.

    They seem to have disabled this somewhat recently

  Let them drive their userbase further away. They have not learned their lesson in 15 years.

  I read only one community on old.reddit.com, with VPN on. The moment they start asking for login there will be the moment my last contact with that site goes away.

  Speak the following sentences clearly to your phone’s microphone:

  I did not “silence” with that woman.
  I am not a crook.
  Poop in Spanish means shit.
  Shit in Spanish could be anything.

  So they will break the system more. I opened my Reddit account and shadow banned after two days later and didn’t even receive any reason for that. I swear Reddit will be better place if they just stop alter it.
