I've come to the same terms.
other day I decided to open reddit.com and noticed that almost every other (re)post was from a bot. even the top comments were from bots.
since then I've added reddit to my growing blocklist.
I now spend more time on feeder, an RSS reader app.
I haven't been to reddit much since the api fiasco. If it's not too much trouble can you point me to some obvious bots so i can get a feel for what that looks like?
here's one i got on r/all:
I didn't scroll further or opened comment section because I didn't want to overwhelm my brain with ragebait.
Looks like straight up rage bait. I mean reddit was heading down that path for at least the last 5 years but that is progressively worse than last July
