    This is worrying because reddit is basically the first search result of every google search right now

      Meh, it’s also usually useless. Much less useful then it had been in the past. I honestly have more luck with gpt then scrolling through dead posts with 1 response that I have to load twice because anything other than old reddit is a psychic attack that will wound me.

          surely you don’t go to the comments section because you want to see comments? you go there because you want post recommendations, right? please click on the recommended posts

        Not saying it’s useful, but will lead to reddit gaining users who are then influenced by the right wing bullshit they come across.

          Welcome to America. I watched my dad get indoctrinated from ages 14 to 30. It started after a bad divorce and I often wonder if there was ever a real, living, thinking, adventurous, person under there. He has so many story’s of his extraordinary past but I look at him today and he’s just a cog collecting garbage. If I had the financial freedom he managed to weasle out through inheritance and disability I would break down walls.

          Sorry, got distracted, my point is it doesn’t take a rabbit hole through some reddit link to fall into conservative media. They literally pump it out into the airwaves for anyone with a am radio to consume endlessly.

          If there is any hope for future generations it will be the tradition of Americans to flip the table and fuck shit up. Unfortunately the GOP co-opted those types and are winning on that front too.

          Will be interesting to watch their fall from grace. The ones who make it out. No more interesting then watching the fuck ups that escape the Mormon church, or anything of the sort, though.
