@AAKL @Engadget You know what I find hilarious?

Before embracing AI and fucking with moderator approved bots, Reddit actually had this problem nearly solved with their reputation system and distributed moderation system.

Moderators would manage their communities and utilize bots they specifically chose to handle the large volume of comments. Users would upvote each other as they interacted as humans. Bots would then be nearly contained and restricted on the platform while users managed the spam for free.
