Reddit

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?"

Lots of bots. Lots of reposts. Subs still on lockdown…

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:

• Top subs already sucked before the API changes, still looking bad. I don’t have too much comparison, as I wasn’t following them anyway, but I would be surprised if they improved
• My former favorite niche subs went downhill, with lower frequency and quality of content. I assume this is due to some mods and powerusers leaving

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.

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"
