Lower AI threshold for link submissions

Current situation

Right now, text submissions with ≥25% AI generated content are removed, while link posts are only removed if they're ≥75% AI generated.

Problem

Despite multiple "nerfs" on the link flair, link spam is still an issue on r/EthTrader.

Low effort / low quality articles, usually (partially) AI written, clog the feed with recycled headlines like:

• "ETH sits at $2,500, will ETH climb to $4,000 next week?"
• "ETH experiences significant inflows"
• "SHIB forms double bottom as whales accumulate"
• "PEPE price expects a pullback"

When they are scanned by the mod team, these articles usually score between 20 to 50% AI, so they can't be removed even though they add no real value.

Solution

I suggest lowering the removal threshold for link submissions to ≥25%, if they are AI generated, matching the rule for text posts and thus having a single "no AI generated content" rule.

This makes moderation simpler and holds all types of content to the same standard.

Advantages

• Encourages quality over quantity.
• Reduces spam from link farmers.
• Supports users who actually read and engage with the content they're posting.
• Increases content quality and standards.

Disadvantages

• Some borderline posts might end up being removed, but if the content is over 25% AI how valuable can it really be?

Conclusion

Through this ETIP, r/EthTrader stops rewarding and incentivizing noise. This ETIP is about having a cleaner feed and supporting thoughtful contributions.

If we want r/EthTrader to grow in value and reputation, this is the next right step.
