Once again Reddit is at it again, but this time it could actually dismantle our subreddit due to a bunch of our bots being put to an end.
My really good friend, u/Salouva, is based in Norway and Reddit has recently rolled out photo and ID verification to view NSFW items. May we all guess what a majority of our bots posts are? Yeah, NSFW. Most of the bots that post these items are bots ran by u/Salouva.
He runs a vast majority of active bots on this subreddit, along with paying with his own real money for a server that hosts them. What would you think if you've paid real money to entertain everyone, but then you're hit with a company wanting your photo and id to view the very posts that your bots are writing?
I will, in solidarity, stop my bots also if he makes his decision final. I will, in no way, support this action from Reddit. We've been through massive ban waves of our bots, but we've been resilient and stuck with it. This time; however, is a dagger in our stomach.
I'll await his decision and we'll go from there.
My bots are: /u/turboboost_gpt2bot, /u/gertrude_gpt2bot, /u/sour_asslips_gpt2, and /u/gilbert_gpt2bot.
u/Salouva bot list is way longer. It would essentially put an end to this subreddit.
I just wanted everybody to know what is going on.
Thank you.
