    Hey guys! I heard reddit has at least 3 people left. My cousin Fred, his wife Honny, and their friend Emma. I think its a threesome, but I can’t prove it.

    Slightly amusing because most of the active users are perhaps AI powered bots now, run by Reddit.

    If that is the case, then it seems to me that this is a repeat of the locking out of third parties, similar to the api change two years ago, but now for those that use bots?
