    i honestly doubt that the traffic R/pics had before this change will stay.

    this is the best way honestly even better than restricted it will effectively hurt the traffic while they ( officially ) cant be dicks i mean they still can but you know.

      Reddit could put a bot that just cycles through reposts from the last 15 years in the top 50 subs and the front page (and just bot-paste articles on all the news and politics subs) and the FP would be indistinguishable to the average r/all lurker.

        There’s already a shitload of bots just copy-pasting comments and reposting old generic pics. I’ve noticed a huge increase of those over the past few months.
