I've stopped commenting on Reddit awhile ago, after they took a lot of actions that were hostile to the type of user I am. But now, even reading it is basically an exercise in fan-fiction curation. It's still mildly interesting to read things like r/pettyrevenge, or r/amitheasshole, but I fully recognize that they're the equivalent of watching a daytime soap - including the fact that most of them are fiction, and it's very hard to distinguish between real stories and ones made up by people or bots.

I’m surprised you can still read Reddit. I tried to continue the music forums (the ones for musicians) in a not logged in state, but I’m so turned off by some crazy percentage of the content on the entire platform being fake. I would not be surprised by a future lawsuit where upwards of 90% of the content being artificial in some way.
