they are likely desperate for more AI scraping by google or others using the site, im guessing they are running out of actual content, and encounter AI-generated stuff instead, not very useful if you are using ai slop to train your own ai slop generator. beause they eliminated so many users last year, it definitely has affected traffic to the site.

mostly propaganda bots, other bots, spammers are running unabated on the site. reddit claims they are stopping scraping, but bots/spammers can easily fire up hundreds of accounts/or buy them easily.

i predict it will become like facebook. it works for tiktok and instagram because the “content is addicting enough” for users to consume.
