I don’t think Reddit could have handled this worse than they are. Those who are against Reddit may be a vocal minority, but in terms of moderation and content creation Im hoping we are the majority and Reddit slowly dwindles as spam and bots take over and content dries up.

The changes include no longer requiring users to do basic research and lowering the standard for what the subreddit counts as spam.

I bet this is to fight against mass edit tools. I actually used one to edit all the comments I ever wrote. Got flagged seconds after by the subreddit of Fear The Walking Dead, permabanning me for spam.

Personally I don’t care. At least now they don’t have my data anymore.
