I’ve soon been on here for 3 years now and made almost 11,700 comments in that time (which I personally find must be a miscount somehow, that sounds insane). So anyway, I was on Reddit for over 11 years. Extrapolating these numbers kind of boggles my mind a bit.
It was pretty well theorized that by killing off apis they were cutting out their highest content providers, us. We provided free content and they got value out of it. Then they didn’t want us anymore.
Now we are here, thousands of comments and posts, and they are upping theirs with AI slop
