    Talking about it here because I don’t know where else to talk about it, but has anyone else noticed that Reddit has gotten incredibly bad with bots lately? I no longer have an account on Reddit, but I still browse sometime, and came across this post:

    Of the top 20 comments, only 4 had karma over 10,000, 0 had profile pics that weren’t snoos or NFTs, and all but 3 or so echoed the same vague message ‘see a therapist.’ Is it just me, or does it seem to anyone else that such cookie cutter comments are not the true thoughts of actual human beings…?

    Regardless of whether it’s bots or just Reddit culture to have such spammy content, I’m incredibly pleased at least with how many instances require you to write a little message about why you want to join to prevent bots. I’ve just seen a lot more comments of actual substance here, idk

      And OPs who forget to remove the ChatGPT blurb at the end of the post saying “this story has several themes reddit users get angry about so it is likely to drive engagement.“
