Reddit adding the new "App" tag to spambot accounts

I just saw this for the first time. Here is a run-of-the-mill AI spam bot account: https://www.reddit.com/user/RiftJukebox/

Sometime recently, it's been given the "app" tag that indicates the account is automated, essentially outing it as a spam bot hooked into reddit's API.

Have other people noticed this happening? I'm curious if this is a random blip in the new system or if it’s foreshadowing that the larger rollout will start impacting the spam bot accounts.

Hi! Has anyone ran into this situation? I want to start payments again so I can resume my progress towards PSLF. I was on the SAVE plan. I applied for the IBR plan with MOHELA two weeks ago and selected to move my loans out of forbearance based on some posts I’ve read here.

Now, my account has a big alert saying my forbearance is ending in 2 weeks, but my IBR application has not been processed yet. My upcoming payment amount still says $0. Should I expect them to process my IBR before the forbearance ends? If they don’t… what happens?
