- The recommended subreddits are all just repost farms where people pretend not to get the joke or repost videos with less context each time
- The games they put into the mobile view are fun for about 1 play but now they are half my feed
- my local subreddit is so obviously being astroturfed in preparation for November that you normal users are calling it out
It seems like on all fronts Reddit is getting so much worse.
But is it getting worse faster or is it just because I have a new account and I took the bait and interacted with dumb features?
I got banned by AI about a month ago, being the sucker that I am, I created a new account, so I’m not 100% if this is the experience new redditors get/want or if it’s being pushed on everyone.
I’ve been disappointed that the internet especially recently feels like a re-post machine with occasional Trump headlines. I was getting disappointed that people were really that cyclical and returning to old, barely funny stuff. This gives me weird hope that it’s not dumb people en-masse. Just dumb bots en-masse.
I wish more Lemmy communities took action against the 10-12 accounts who spam stale memes all day, but I think they are afraid of appearing too “dead” to outsiders.
