The extent to which Claude specifically is being promoted by bot accounts on GitHub and social platforms smells fishy. It forces me to wonder how much of it is an organized campaign and who is paying for all the tokens.

Moderating the Obsidian Reddit has become a nightmare. It looks like at least 50% of the activity is coming from bots. For now we've been able to somewhat successfully curb it with various automated rules, but the volume is only increasing.

the question is also how many legitimate users have been affected. this thought is chilling to me, given that people always told me that I "talk like a walking Wikipedia"
