Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots collect and sell as much data on its users as possible
What stops people from doing a real human verification and then just handing the account off to a bot?
I need to ask - what is "real human verification"? 🙃
Seems pretty self explanatory, but what I meant was somebody doing the verification thing personally, as a human being, before passing the account off to a bot.
You can't personally create tens of thousands of accounts, you can pay slave labor in China but that still costs more.
I just logged into reddit and it didn't work until I completely disabled uBlock Origin. The first time ever. Sooo... what are they using to keep out those bots?
Other bots
I just tested this and I logged in without issue with ublock origin...perhaps it's a setting you're using or a specific ad list?
Why does he look like he's about to say "my precious..."
