Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a “current event” that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today’s or any recent time’s 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K upvotes. 100 comments. Feels like ai/bot cosplaying what an actual hot reddit post would be like but in a world without people.

    Sounds like a song…

    Bots who like posts who like posts who like bots who write posts from the bots who like bots who like posts…

      I like you and you like him and he likes somebody else
      The three of us, so full of votes
      And yet, we’re all on the shelf
      ‘Round and ‘round we keep on clickin’
      There’s only bots left in this frickin’
      Subreddit that’s slowly come unglued
      A circle of snoo

      I wish that we could take a break
      ‘Cause even bots get bored
      But redditors keep fucking off
      To the Fediverse or Discord
      So on and on we keep on postin’
      To hide that users have been ghostin’
      Who wants spam that isn’t even new?
      A circle of snoo

      A circle of snoo
      That’s filled with so much glurge
      A circle of snoo
      Can’t someone do a purge?

      But on and on we keep on postin’
      To hide that users have been ghostin’
      Who wants spam that isn’t even new?
      A circle of snoo

      (edited to finish the song because if you’re going to set something to an Archies tune, why not go for maximum suffering?)
