In 2022 I was among the 1% of most karma awarded on reddit. Hadn’t been banned anywhere.
Then in 2024 their IPO went public. A week later it was said that AI bots were now scrubbing the site to sell your data to google.
Within 3 weeks I was permanently banned, for 3 posts that had nothing wrong with them. One of them I understand how an AI would flag if its just using keywords. In context of the conversation nothing was wrong.
The other 2 didn’t even have keywords which an AI would pick up on.
So my assumption is the AI scrubbed my data, started acting like me, which is to say an absurdist, and google didn’t like the results of my data. So reddit banned me.
