I’ve been on there for 12 years and it’s been a pretty steady decline since then. It was actually even worse before I joined, like a free range cesspool of edgelords, bigots, and adults wanting to fuck teenagers. There was a period where a lot of the shit was chased off before it started heading towards the corporate direction; that was probably when Reddit was at its best

People who are there for celebrity gossip, memes, music discussion. Pretty much surface level stuff

If anything, it’s growing and taking on a new audience. Reddit was semi-niche in the years before, and is now becoming mainstream.

I don’t think the article is AI, but I would be hilarious if it was an AI article written about an AI reddit post and the possible AI written comments on it
