17Y/o makes Promo and Bot detector for Reddit review please

Hey am sure you know what is the dead internet theory. I have been noticing many bots and promotional posts on reddit, its great when it is in a relevent sub-reddit but it has been an influx into unnecessary communities.

These promos are trying to disguise themselves as useful information and get you to read them resulting in wasted time.

so, i have built an opensource chrome extension which finds outs if the post and/or comment is a promo comment before you even have to read through it.

Full disclaimer: I am doing this as a portfolio project so any and all advice/reviews are welcome =)

as of now its using a placeholder website: https://aimtica.com and is accessible via github

would be great if u can star on github if you think it is of use to you lol
