lol reddit isnt friction free anymore, most subs want you to wait weeks or months before you post.
Same story, no experience, need work for experience, can't get work without experience.
When I moderated a sub on Reddit I think I implemented a requirement that a poster must have at least positive three karma.
Was amazing how many scammers couldn't even be bothered to do that little effort. Seriously they could have just upvoted each other but they couldn't even do that.
All you have to do is introduce the smallest barrier to entry and it cuts bots admissions by about 95% as most of them out there are only looking for the lowest common denominator. They are unwilling to put in any effort at all.
