What is at stake
Suspicious publishing traffic rose 6.4-fold in 18 hours across professional accounts. You must weigh community protection against false blocks that disrupt legitimate organic publishing.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- community safety vs legitimate publishing
- rapid containment vs verified classification
- edge enforcement vs customer reach
- automated action vs strict review
Why Reddit
Professional accounts publish into communities where moderators actively reject spam and brand manipulation.
