>You have to read between the lines. This just gives them the option to label anybody they want as a “bot” with virtually no way to challenge them. They can now ban anybody they wish for posting content they don’t agree with (pro-gaza, anti-israel, anti-capitalist, etc).

I guess. I don’t use Reddit’s AI. But Digg specifically billed itself as Reddit + AI. I got early beta access, and it was exactly that: Reddit + shitty AI summaries.

For normal transactions, it’s too slow and expensive, but for crime, that’s not a problem.
I’m no lover of Bitcoin, but this is just false. Using the Lightning Network (basically a Layer 2 application on top), transactions are near instant and cost only pennies.
Using the Ethereum network and L2s, which has an energy expenditure less than that of your dishwasher, you can move money instantly and for basically fee. There’s a reason big corporations like Visa and countless others are heavily investing in and building on Ethereum: it’s faster and cheaper than legacy tradfi rails. Also, it’s a pretty good way to get air to Gaza and other war-raved countries, pay for privacy-respecting email and VPNs, etc.
primary use case is crime, money laundering, drugs, assassination, ransomware
In fact, crypto has moved on from 2009-era use cases: ethereumadoption.com/usecases/
