as a user and member of WSB I have been trying to think how one could create a platform that is meant to deal with bots. I think this is going to be a crucial thing in the coming years.

Bad actors are able to easily influence the sentiment of a community with these bots. I even thought after all this is over WSB is dead, it doesn’t cost much for these firms to continue to leave their bots on posting and changing the sentiment of the community and ultimately forcing members to leave.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

wow this video explains a lot

It sounds like he’s trying to push you out before it blows up. Don’t sell. If you end up with 40% of nothing hit me up. I’m a full stack entrepreneur who can build and sell.
Do not sell. He’s trying to push you out since it’s primed to blow up. If it becomes 40%of nothing let me know and I’ll build it with you. I’m a full stack entrepreneur who can sell and build. The only real threat that I’ve seen brought up is if he can fire you.
