MODERATORS
On the former, yes. Maybe we will luck into attrition being greater than the users they will attract.
For the latter--maybe?
At this point I think it is best for Reddit to quietly wind down and just go away. Eventually it is just going to be a right wing hellhole.
reddit already lost to attrition, which is why they want people login. first the purges came last year, reduced overall traffics and users, but not botters, then AI stop using reddit as a datamine, because its not useful if all your content is also AI generated.
I'm not certain that I follow the logic, but I'm also not certain that the logic would make sense if I was following it.
