Calling FT8 an "existential threat to ham radio" is ludicrous no
matter how much you or I may dislike it. Anything that encourages
lots of activity like FT8 does is exactly the opposite.
Dave is right, insofar as anything that hams care to transmit, or cause
to be transmitted, on the ham bands may be described as ham radio, and
insofar as "lots of activity", regardless of how it's generated, is
inherently good in itself.
All the same, your computer talking to my computer over ham-band RF
leaves me cold. And, yes, that includes RTTY.
