  • Well what are you supposed to click on, the whole traffic light or just the lights, all the blocks with a cyclist, or just the cycle, or just the blocks that are all cycle ? I’ve tried everything and nothing works.

    The sad part is that these don’t really stop bots, captcha solver services have bot accessible APIs which can be used to solve these things for malicious actors, they pay real people pennies to solve them and sell it as a service.

    Its not really intended for that, it for bots that run thousands of clicks a minute to bring the site up in a search algorithm.







  • Look at the any post about Israel or trans.

    The number of likes is completely out of proportion to anything else. A top political post might get 1.2k likes, a question maybe 4k, an Israel bot will get 23k, all short replies or replies repeating the original post in that section.

    A trans post would get 22k likes, and literally the day after the election they vanished, they now get well under 500.

    With a high like count, it gets pushed up into popular and it makes their view look more popular than is actually is.

    BTW, almost all the bots on reddit are produced by the moderators of that subreddit.
