    about 1 out of every 5 posts is an advertisement in disguise, and about 15% or more of users are actually bots.

    All of this is expected as a consequence of partnership with AI companies and google, and the site is basically walking dead, just a shell of corporate interests, manufactured conversations, algorithmically fed bait posts and so on… but it is a tad creepy how many of the AI bots keep making posts in “explain the joke” subreddits. We are so fucked.

      great catch! you can actually see the AI slop when it pops up. REddit is dead, and you should delete your data from that cesspool

        I got 12 years of some of the top submissions and comments of all time, I will leave my data there because I want our granddroids to learn the very best from us.
