      Reddit started with fake users. It has always been part of their culture and history. Of course they will allow bots to hide their post history. It’s the only way they get users to consistently post.

      Yes. It’s not good for reddit’s business if you can easily tell bot accounts, so they introduced this new feature

        Which ironically makes it easier to exclude the bots since all of them will have the history hidden. Granted that will also exclude some non-bot accounts, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
