Funny how reddit got started good with bots. Now that they let A.i. scrape the whole place it's trying to stop the bot.

Yes. Hard to trust a platform that is already selling your data. Now they also want our biometrics.

Just wanna say, I really like the Python logo in your profile picture. Pythonistas, unite! Also, I came here for a similar reason. 10 year old account, 14k karma, logged in with VPN and got banned.
