I mean the bots don't help. The sheer number of obviously AI subreddits and response farms is crazy.

Everyone has their own reasons. If you disagree with their management, then you should celebrate other people choosing to leave, even if for different reasons than your own.

I'm not complaining about people leaving, just saying the bots are not the biggest problem.

Por que, no los dos?

I mean it's definitely both, but the fashy admins were the last straw.
