    Reddit could survive with nothing but bots posting AI generated drivel and memes, and more bots endlessly responding with variations on “This,” “Don’t threaten me with a good time” and “That’s what she said.”

    Just so long as the zombies have enough “content” to scroll through, inertia alone will keep it going.

        No - not really.

        Monkey push “Reddit” button - monkey get banana.

        Monkey don’t know what other buttons for.

      The problem is that bots don’t provide good content, specially not when the output of a bot is used as input of another. (This is called “model collapse” when it happens on the training stage, but you’re bound to see the same in output-input chains)
