Exactly this. Reddit has some new (as of this year) metric about "post quality," called the Contributor Quality Score where you have to post a lot to keep it up. Low scores mean you are not a quality redditor worthy of having comments seen. So I'm soft-banned from many subs simply by virtue of not being in Reddit and makikg content for them enough. My favorite is /r/privacy, which now essentially discourages anyone guarding their privacy from participating.

Meanwhile, the AI slop bots have no problems with this metric. Me, as a real human? Pushed out. Fine, happy to oblige.
