Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

    Some way to cut down on bot spam / bot shills. The political manipulation in Reddit really grew thick 2015ish and never went away.

      The comment bots got thicker than mosquitoes in a swamp over the past couple of years. You couldn’t go into a comment section without half the comments being bots reposting them from other similar threads.

      Yeah, I was coming here to say this. I’m not 100% against bots, but I think Reddit has way too many.

      It really was fascinating to watch mundane topics become overly politicized by bots purchased by those seeking to push their control of organic discourse. Notably Depp/Heard or the rise of r/banpitbulls.
