I'm surprised filtering by top comment isn't a thing yet. On Reddit it seems to reduce interaction with new comments a lot so in that way Amethyst handles replies better than Reddit. But I think the lure will come at some point. Filtering by top comment gives the feeling of getting more social value more efficiently than reading every reply and deciding what's valuable yourself.

AI solves the spam problem, it's a perfect application for that otherwise stupid technology.
Open anonymous registration plus subscribable decentralized anti-spam AI nodes. Winner combo.
Until the same AI is used to creat that spam. The field is level 🐶🐾🫡
The spammer would end up not selling his/her idea in order to effectively circumvent the good AI filters.
Because the AI is not blocking an identity, it's detecting a specific topic, writing style and behavior. Spam would become the death of any product spammers try to sell, therefore no incentive to keep going.
I mean, this has been tried before and it works. Not a new idea.
It's cat and mouse. It's dog and fishcake.
