Reddit takes on the bots with new ‘human verification’ requirements for fishy behavior

Would-be Reddit competitor Digg just shut down because it couldn’t get a handle on the bots overrunning its site. On Wednesday, Reddit said it’s taking on the challenge itself.

The company will begin labeling automated accounts that are providing a service to users, similar to how the “good bots” are labeled on X, and it will now require accounts that are suspected of being bots to verify if they’re human.
