lol ok Reddit is a ghost town of bots now.
The interactions and posts I encounter on the fediverse are so much higher quality than Reddit, it is like drinking fake ass tropicana orange juice after having hand squeezed orange juice whenever I go back on Reddit.
It is why I stopped caring as much about how fast the fediverse was growing or how large it is, any worry with that is eclipsed by the visceral feeling that this is a place for humans. The conversations in general here, even when they are about silly shit, are so much higher it is kind of shocking going back to reddit sometimes.
Reddit becoming profitable now only shows that corporate social media companies are incapable of making massive profits off of social media without ruining the experience of using it.
Yay, all it took was to succumb to big tech money and fucking its user base.
That’s a lot of bots.
Well yeah, gpt is getting cheaper and easier to run. Also for those 100 million users, pretty much all comment sections are dead outside of ask reddit and other content farm subs.
