The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that…not so much.

The frontpage was never good, but hooo boy.
Every time I catch a peek now it’s the same Am I the Asshole (they’re obviously not), Am I Overreacting (My husband called me 15 different slurs, AIO???), and the same stupid AskReddit questions (Americans of Reddit, how do you feel living in a ruined country?)
I swear, back then there were bots reposting old posts and reply chains, now they must be AI generating the whole thing because all the frontpage shit is the exact same posts, following the same format, day after day.
At this point I wouldn’t go back even if rolled back their shitty changes.
Where are the people who made Reddit fun to use?
Happy cake day!
Thank you! 🙂↕️
If Reddit ever disclosed how many “users” were bots, I’m quite confident it would be >80%. 95%+ of everything we see on the front page. Now consider who is running those bots, and why. What kind of opinions are they trying to shape?
