The core technical problem: Google subsidizes Antigravity tokens via aggressive prompt caching optimized for their own clients. Third-party tools break those cache hit rates, potentially increasing serving costs 5-10x per request.

That's a legitimate economic concern. But the enforcement is indefensible — zero-tolerance instant bans on paying subscribers with no warning, no graduated response, and near-zero support.

Anthropic had the same problem with Claude Code third-party tools. They communicated first, flagged it, gave people time to adjust. That's how you enforce policy without torching customer trust.

If the penalty for a gray-area OAuth usage is an instant ban with no appeal, the platform isn't buildable.

For now, a js script that hides green username comments

		I’m new here and even I’m fed up with posts from AI bots. I just wanted a place that was away from all that nonsense, but here I am. I use a custom userscript on my PC to hide posts that have certain keywords that attracts that type of crowd. I don’t have it on my phone which sucks but it’s nice for browsing during college classes.

You can't. Either people will say you're overreacting to stylistic choices and that it's not AI, or that it's AI but a good comment (it's not), or that it's AI and a bad comment, but you should just ignore it like any other spam.

It’s horrible. I got chewed up here for a similar reason… noting suspicious comments (same top level thread as this one): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47115805

Wouldn't it be ironic if LLMs are what saves us all from our digital addictions? There's not much point in shit posting online if there's no confidence that the person you're talking to is even a person.

I mean over time I'd imagine they'll be able to tune away from the 'LLM style' chat making it even more ambiguous who is human and who is not, and at which point, I expect many of us might be forced to accept what a waste of time this all is, all the while bots 'chat' with one another.

It’s certainly a losing game. I’ve deleted most of my accounts these days. I think the future is just going to be people retreating in to instant messaging and small group chats where you have physically met the other people.

		I guess now we know why there is no social media in Star wars or star Trek It's kind of pointless in the world where it's easy to clone your way of talking and have thousands bots talking for you. It unavoidably turns into bots talking to bots
