The botting and astroturfing was already out of control. It's going to be so much worse going forward.

The cynical part of me wants to say that's by design. That reddit wants to get rid of good moderation tools so that it can allow more paid astroturfung to get more revenue.

Reddit started as a service based on fake users and activity to attract real users, it's going to end as bots talking to bots.
