Even this has been eroding, the amount of comments made by bots I see across reddit/Twitter has increased exponentially since the 2010s. It only got worse after LLMs.
- jimmy1337 2y agoI made an ‘Ask HN’ yesterday about the dire state of bots on the web and the lack of conversation around it. After a few mins, with 4 upvotes and one user reply it was [flagged] and I couldn’t even reply to the person. So I am left with the impression we aren’t allowed to discuss bots on the web on this platform. Edit: This comment not appearing for others?

- CapstanRoller 2y agoYou're probably not allowed to discuss it here because the people who own this website are currently making a lot of money from content stolen by bots, to be ingested by other bots.
