This brings up a lot of points I hadn’t even thought of. Bots didn’t even cross my mind when I heard this news. Big yikes.
Mm, I'm a big fan of Decronym on Reddit, the bot that wanders around demystifying acronyms. There was a post by the bot's creator yesterday where they covered how many API calls it makes, and how there's been no clarity on whether there'll be a free tier of API usage etc.
It could shut down all the comment bots on the site.
RIP “I am a bot, beep boop.” 🪦
