I don't see bots in my feed, but they have free reign in the comments.

I'm worried that both bots as a means to message at volume and the rise of NLP and captcha-beating models will ultimately lead to a loss of freedom.

One way to combat these is to massively fund anti-botting teams, which doesn't really feed the bottom line. The other way is to require full state ID - driver's license or passport - to register for services.

I'm doubtful pseudonymity will continue into the next decade.

Bots are clearly a problem. We're not addressing it adequately, and we may see harsh countermeasures imposed against us all to stop them.
