Screenshot from video game "Gunner, HEAT, PC!". A destroyed and burnt-out East German T-55A sits in a prepared dugout position, with the surrounding earth torn up and pockmarked from artillery and tank shells over the course of what must have been an intense engagement. The trench is partially filled with debris from the nearby craters. The hatches are open from the crew bailing out earlier, and an angry gouge of bare metal on the turret shows where a kinetic dart punched through the armor to land the killing blow.

Gunner POV. A tank drives right to left, about to cross behind a building. The aiming reticle is "leading" in front of the moving target to account for shot travel time.

This bot / cyborg account is so successful because, from actual Reddit's point of view, it's essentially not doing anything wrong. The whole original point of the site is to link content that was created elsewhere. This place has reposts as its lifeblood, by design. When bots drive-by post old stories or use the wrong subs, we feel the artificial nature of the activity and push back - but if the bots worked perfectly, we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a bot and a very skilled karma farmer, who in a way is the ideal poster. All of us use reddit for different reasons. Some like the front page for keeping up with funny posts, memes, and news. Some dive deep into hobby communities where they can explore their passions. Yet I would argue that, underpinning all of the various kinds of user interaction, there's a single binding principle: authenticity. You know that on any post, you can go to the comments section and see real people discussing it. Taken as a whole, they'll be clever and funny and informed. The top comments will say what you were thinking or provide the answers you were looking for. The community aspect here is unrivaled, and it's what makes this place worth more than just a live feed of popular internet content. Bots undermine that authenticity. They imitate human interaction, sometimes more successfully than others, but they degrade the quality of the site no matter what. They can't reply to follow-up questions, change their answers to reflect updated information, or discern the right time and place to say something. They just churn out empty forgeries, until they're caught or the accounts are sold to scammers. And whether they're caught or not, and whether the threads make sense or not, in the end these bots are antithetical to everything the users value about reddit.

President Trump told reporters he believed the F.C.C. should revoke the broadcast licenses of networks who have late night show hosts who speak overly negatively about him. “I have read someplace that the networks were 97% against me again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily,” Trump said abroad Air Force One. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away. It will be up to Brendan Carr,” the chairman of the F.C.C., Trump added.
