If I had a magic wand, I would enforce an internet-wide separation of human activity metrics from bots.

I want to know how many real humans read my post, commented, shared etc.

Clankers can keep their own counts.

Reddit is slowly dying for me for that reason. So many bot / bot like accounts that seem ... off / hidden histories. Trust level with any given comment or post now is reaching 0 fast.

It's a bummer because it's hitting a lot of users and even valid users who don't communicate good are getting hit hard too with skeptical responses.
