A lot of it is Ai generated now and you’ll see the same comments over and over again, even in the same thread.
I knew there was a lot of bots and manufactured posts throughout reddit, but the recent trends in Ai make it feel like the people behind these aren’t even trying anymore.
it also doesn’t help reddit much that a bot detection service that caught something like 100-150k bots so far shut down nearly all operations due to the api pricing and reddit’s behavior over the protest. they stopped detection of new bots and are only keeping the lights on for three months to let any unbans roll in.
(they’re not unbanning bots though, just giving people a fair appeal process, something reddit inc itself could learn from)
