Maybe some niche subs are safe-ish from targeted bots, but I'm seeing some niche subs constantly hit by bots who misunderstand what the sub is actually about and post something that maybe matches the words of the sub's name ... but not the actual intent of the sub. Basically lost bots, and they don't stop.
Also the software / programming subs are just spam hell now.
They're not lost. They're building up a history of non-spam posts.

"i got tired of x so i built y" is my entire feed. none of my niches are safe. heartbreaking
