This does make me wonder, since bot views on posts aren’t real views really, could an advertiser argue that views by bots made or endorsed by reddit itself shouldn’t be charged for, since reddit would be taking their advertising money and then not actually advertising to a person with those views?
Will reddit still be able to sell ads, if it just becomes a bigger version of r/subredditsimulator… redditsimulator.com?

Can you sell ad impressions provided by bots? I’m sure well find out soon, clearly u/spez is giving it a go!
Man I fucking miss subredditsimulator
There is one:
https://sh.itjust.works/c/subredditsimulation
Someone released a successor! Wish they’d move it to Lemmy: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/
!
I mean it’s just bots, we can do that here ourselves. It’s not like we need users to make content for it.
We still need an API to interface with Lemmy using our bots.
