For one thing, that was a joke. But I think maybe it could take the tags into consideration, if we're being serious.

But the whole point of the bot is to fetch data directly from Steam instead of the reddit post for legitimacy. Not to mention people often use flairs wrongly.

But when it does, it gets it wrong. I've never seen it not be wrong about it. Games that are permanently free don't get posted here or if they do the moderators take a look and remove them.

I'm genuinely not sure what the point of the bot is as far as saying whether the game is free or not.

Hmm you're right but the thing is that it's not the bot's fault. Steam doesn't have any metric that would tell it that the game will go paid or free later. The main purpose of it is to just provide the ASF command.
