Right now there is high bot activity on Reddit, but the high amount of users make it tolerable to some extent.

But one thing that I don’t see anyone talk about is what happens when bots to humans ratio become so high(>70%)? Like what if you checked Reddit only to see reposts and propaganda?

Following news websites does not have interactivity and more importantly, sharing events as it happens is something that is rare to get outside Reddit aed TikTok If I am being very honest.

I even stopped seeing more new memes outside meta platforms.

Is there is a forum/app for citzen journalism? Any crowdsourced tech tips forum exist?

    It’s a circle jerk. Bots get paid by companies to shill, ads from companies provide revenue to companies.

    Wait, this sounds awfully familiar… Oh yeah! The money changing hands between NVIDIA and Open AI xD

    This is the new economy folks. Insurance, pharma and hospital networks do the same damn thing. Money literally doesn’t mean anything anymore.
