Bottling was an issue in 2017 too.

  From the linked article: > The API should be generally open and transparent so the reddit community can build on it (bots, extensions, data collection, external visualizations, etc) if they choose to do so. They specifically made r/place (at least in 2017) to be easy to bot. Without botting I don't think individual users could coordinate well enough against spam to build some of the more complex art.
