I got them on sale for around $110. They might be expensive for wired earbuds, but still cheaper than nice wireless earbuds, including the Fairbuds this post is about. Also, the cables are replaceable in case they ever get damaged.

Not the same guy, but I don’t have trouble blocking outside noise with Etymotic ER3SE earbuds. They do go insanely deep into my ear though.

You say there’s nothing thing to worry about because you’re narrowing your focus to one specific week of high activity. If this is the week the Reddit API changes took effect, this is the week I migrated over and I haven’t logged into Reddit since. However, there has been some growing pains and with intermittent issues on different instances, I ended up creating accounts on multiple servers that week. I’ve only commented using this one so far but I appreciate having the others logged in on Jerboa so I can jump between them. Sometimes this is necessary when servers go down temporarily. So far, these other accounts are just for lurking but they can clearly be captured in your net of possible “bots”. I think you are greatly underestimating the number of legit accounts you are sweeping up. One thing I have not seen from your posts is any evidence from of malicious activity on these accounts. Therefore, I don’t agree with pressuring admins to terminate these accounts in bulk. I would prefer to see action based on truth rather than baseless speculation. What’s wrong with removing accounts only if they ever become a problem?

Sorry, meant to reply to the top level comment.
