    The algorithms designed to keep you there and sell you more are the real poison there, but I can’t say you’re wrong.

        Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, all the major ones. I’d like to think that Reddit is less affected by it than the rest of them, but I’m not certain that is accurate anymore.

        …… I call this “exhibit A” for why I’m on lemmy.

          Reddit is or was definitely less affected. I remember an article for SEO people from a while ago about how Reddit was the least valuable “social” media site and all the reddit users were like “of course it is. It isn’t social media”. Now that reddit admins are taking a more direct approach to delivering content that their users aren’t looking for, that has changed.
