25,000 spam messages and 2 million votes blocked per day: facing the risks of platform manipulation and AI-generated content, Reddit bets on AI 07.07.2026

BFM

To counter the massive rise in artificial intelligence-generated content and opinion manipulation, Reddit is strengthening its moderation systems by integrating AI. This strategy aims to detect suspicious behavior and artificial hype patterns that previously escaped traditional automated tools. According to platform data, these improvements have enabled the daily blocking of 23 million spam-related views and approximately 25,000 spam messages. Furthermore, Reddit has revoked nearly 2 million inauthentic votes per day over the last three months, reducing user exposure by 20% between January and March. This initiative is crucial in the face of the emergence of AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), where companies use simulated Reddit accounts to influence the responses of chatbots such as ChatGPT or Gemini.
