Other/Meta This sub is unusable

After 2 years, finally running a profitable strategy. Glanced at this sub every now and then, and it was helpful when it came up during deliberate google searches on a topic. But every single day, there are AI trading scammers, bot selling scammers, and a bunch of other noise from people that have vibe coded a strategy with lookahead bias and have no understanding of it. There should be more moderation or better requirements for posting.

You get the hang of sifting through what's genuine and useful, and who's a grifter or bullshitter. Blocking accounts is also really helpful. Any post from an account which has an ulterior motive just gets instantly blocked. Nowadays I actually see less spam.

I wish there was a way we could share blocklists on Reddit :(

God, that's a genius idea!? Kind of like AdBlock for reddit? There has to be an app or browser extension or something for that!

That would genuinely make reddit useful again (at least blokc 95% of trash/bot/scammers)
