I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

    Deterring very new accounts is still a useful thing to do.

    A lot of posts on my country’s COVID sub were removed by the bot with an account too new message, and it was only set to about one week. It doesn’t really slow down new users but it cuts off a lot of spam bots.
