spez wants it to be a AI datamine, turns out when you ban so many people, it causes them to lurk, so its only propaganda bots, and AI generated content. Also its mostly filled with indian subs too , because the amount of people in india potentially surpasses that of the US, by sheer population numbers, and its not useful to have only indians, since the "continent' doesnt really affect the US in terms of news, sports, celebrity in that country.
basically this made OPEN AI AND google see reddit as less useful to scrape.
