What happened to Reddit? AFAIK, they're bigger than ever now.
- ceejayoz 2y agoIn any of the larger subreddits, the posts are heavily repost bots and the top comments stolen from the last time it was posted.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoIt's also astroturfed to death, including moderation.
- Cyph0n 2y agoAstroturfing and moderator controlled subreddits have ruined Reddit for me. /r/worldnews is one example of the latter.
- jiggawatts 2y agoSomeone analysed a popular post and found that 19 of the top 20 comments were bots. The Dead Internet theory is all too true.
- IAmGraydon 2y agoReddit's become a propaganda factory, and it's disturbing. Heavily astroturfed subs are creating an echo chamber effect that's clearly damaging users' mental health. The platform's lax security makes it an easy mark for foreign misinformation campaigns. You can still sign up without even an email address!
