I just thought about this... They made it so hard for me to make an anonymous account I moved here. The AI accounts have more tools at their disposal to get around this and have more incentive to so they stick around. They're little going to fill their site with bots while getting rid of a good portion of their human uses because of their shit practices.
Further when you sell out to using you data to build AI models what do you expect to show up after?
