      The plan is to artificially inflate the number of users with bots to fool advertisers into thinking there are a lot more users than there really is so they’ll advertise on Reddit. This is the only thing that matters now.

        And we’re about to watch Anthropic go through the same thing with their IPO. Late-stage capitalism sucks.
