No they won't lol
If they didn't do it already, it's not gonna happen now. This is lip service to the shareholders
It's in their best interest to suppress non-human conversations. What are you talking about?
Is it? Reddit has been full of bots for years.
And if the r/CMV thing didn't make it apparently, the recent wave of them weren't "caught in the act" and only became a "problem" when the researchers announced their shitty experiment.
If realistic chat bots can fool the masses, why on earth would reddit get rid of them? It helps their metrics. "Look at how active our site is! Buy stock!"
Shitty experiment? On the contrary, it was an amazing experiment.
