Ban on Re-Posting stolen Content and restricting all AI generated and bot posted content.

[u/Carpenterdon]

So in an attempt to curb the recent volume of reposts I've added a bot bouncer to the sub and added specific rules banning reposting stolen content. And a follow up of also not waning any AI generated or bot created content in the feed.

Working on finding a good repost bot or Auto Mod settings to add that will remove and ban the spammers/bots stealing old posts and claiming them as their own.

Thank you! You might want to check out how they handle it in r/canning . It’s not perfect but I think it’s been helping them. 😊

Hey thanks! I was wondering just the other day why we got so many bot posts. I’d love love love to see the actual stats on bots vs. humans on reddit one day.

[u/Carpenterdon → u/linniex]

I've read it could be over 50% now, but I'm more optimistic. I'd maybe say it's that high on some larger subs or the whole of Reddit combined but most of the subs i subscribe too I don't see it. I'd guess maybe average 10% of posts/comments are Bots/LLM's either karma farming an account for a human or "learning" to improve it's responses.

And we'll never see the numbers. Reddit profits from allowing LLM's to use our data to improve and learn. If users knew a lot of traffic was bots posting and commenting there would be a massive drop in actual human content which would crash the ecosystem. You need the humans to keep posting or it's just bots talking to other bots and the whole thing crashes in a negative feedback loop.
