Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed

        I also got suspended for 3 days for harassing a bot by replying “Hahaha” to an automated message from a r/teslalounge automod telling me I’m banned because I commented in another sub making fun of the Cyber Truck.

        Whem laughing at bots is harrasment, its time to run. Reddit is a joke now.
