This is it right here. Whoever controls social media controls minds.

Yesterday I browsed "/r/all" for the first time in like 3 or more years (I stopped using reddit altogether a long time ago). Holy shit I felt like my brain would melt, there was so much ragebait and misinformation that asks for primal engagement. The links I opened that seemed interesting lead to nowhere and the comments were so fucking dumb. Despite all that I kept scrolling looking for that sweet hit, I must have spent at least an hour of my time that I threw away. Thank God I jumped ship when I saw the direction it was heading.

Feed it to the bots

pretty much code words for "we need more fresh humans to login , because we just have bots running the site now"

At best people will learn something; at worst we’ll get a show.

You'll just end up with r/anime_titties situation.

Just because a login is required will not help with bots.

that will not stop botting at all, bots already can make accounts very easily because they dont care how much gets banned if they can create more, they can automate it. but normal users cant do that, because they will get banned very quickly. what spez saying is a lie anyways.

also reddits have shown to preference not to filter out most propaganda botting anyways.

most users are lurking because they dont want to have account ban.
