Reddit is about to turn into an even bigger mess.

Yes, Reddit moving another step closer to Dead-Internet Theory.

There were already bots talking to bots on there. This is about to get worse. I don't think most people realised how many bots BotDefense was finding and neutralizing.

This was the first thing I assumed would happen when they announced the API pricing. A lot of spam prevention and deletion (hell, a lot of moderation period) is done by bots that use the API, made by people that likely can't pay the new exorbitant fees to keep those going.
