"Bots talking to bots." Came across this subreddit that appears to exist only to take advantage of how appending "reddit" to search terms is being favored in SEO. - eviltoast

It’s mentioned in this really good Verge article about SEO. I don’t think it’s a good sign for Reddit to just allow such blatant spam and makes me think how much subtler spam is out there too.

I’ve personally noticed more a few times in old threads you’ll find a comment made months later that’s recommending a product.

    Fediverse is mostly open source. So anyone can implement anti-spam mechanism to their instance. Although it is currently open to spam, I think it will be much more spam-proof if it becomes mainstream.
