    I can’t be the only one who thinks having a bot to go round pestering people for saying things like barmen is a little ridiculous right?

        Blind to ____ / turn a blind eye to ____ / blinded by ignorance/bigotry/etc. / double-blind review Refers to Blind, low-vision, or sight-limited people. Often used as a metaphor. Consider instead: willfully ignorant, deliberately ignoring, turning their back on, overcome by prejudice, doubly anonymous, had every reason to know, feigned ignorance

        Those alternatives dont mean the same thing.

        Double Annoymous seems better

      Bots on reddit are just so universally annoying and most of them provide no value at all. Most of them should have been banned on sight anyways.

        There was one for a while that told you how many times you left a comment saying “nice.” It had a leaderboard and the top ones had done it some tens of thousands of times.

          Flag waving bot and gif reverse bot come to mind. The value is just fun, but if fun isn’t valuable, what is?

        I modded a niche outdoor community sub and I banned every bot that found its way there. Sorry, but we don’t need a metric conversion bot nor a grammar correcting bot.

          Yeah, because the best part of reddit was the human interaction, and having bots proliferate everywhere just kills that entirely.
