I haven’t been back to Reddit since June. Am I missing anything?
Lots of bots. Lots of reposts. Subs still on lockdown…
Reposts, outrage bait, horny bait (98% of OldSchoolCool) and whOleSomE bait
Fuck no
I still use a modded client to lurk on niche subs, but I completely avoid "all"
I have been back occasionally when searching for some specific thing, and sometimes I checked r/all and my former favorite subs. My overall observation:
Overall, reddit is still useful as an occasional information source for checking public opinion/sentiment on specific things, but for me, it’s appeal as a general “time-waster” social media, where I keep scrolling for an hour and leave comments is gone.
Nope.
No.
Yeah. You're missing bots regurgitating old posts into new ones, and ai bots responding to that. You're missing the thousands of samesies "What [movie/video game/song] do you like but everyone hates" You're missing obvious troll posts like "AITA for defending my 6yo from nearly being a rape victim?"
