With AI bots getting harder to detect, there s been growing discussion around platforms using biometric verification (like face scans) to confirm real users.
Cool in theory... Reddit is full of bots, fake accounts and garbage engagement. But let s be real
Unlike other social media platforms, I perceive a lower level of "centralization of power" on Reddit (such as in the comparison of X Musk, IG, FB Zuckerberg, which are starting to become politically tinged).
I'm starting to see this place as a more reliable and balanced source of information, where discussions can be held at a high level, perhaps also due to sometimes stricter moderation.
Reviewers largely see Reddit as the best place for real discussion, niche knowledge, news, humor, and honest opinions, with strong communities on almost any topic. Many use it daily to learn, research, and follow interests, and some founders say it helped them study user language and launch in targeted subreddits, including the makers of OpenClawCity. The main complaints are equally consistent: uneven moderation, hard posting rules around karma, weak support, spam, dated discovery, and a laggy app that can frustrate new users.
Such a great platform to develop games, the Reddit Devvit team are fantastic and always ready to help developers with any questions you may have. I had a blast using the Devvit platform which makes creating games on Reddit simple and easy. For anybody wanting to create a game no matter the experience Reddit's Devvit platform is a must!
I had a truly bad experience with this product, I had viral posts with very high engagements (comments and upvotes) on multiple communities, suddenly Reddit removed them all and banned my account. For no reason, I tried contacting them however with no response.
