I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw
As a not bot and totally definitely human person, I do not have any moral or physical ailments which result in my emotional reaction of upsetness when being confronted with the idea that 47% of internet traffic is bots. My homo sapiens brain does not contain conflict on this issue.
As an undoubtedly human male of the person type, I am unable to solve a captcha without help because of my stupid limited monkey brain. Please connect me with customer service.

Meh, it was a fifty fifty chance anyway.
Or 47:53 if you trust the bots.

Bots run 24/7. Humans only 8 hrs. We can’t win

If you're only awake for 8 hours per day, you have a problem and should probably talk to your doctor.
