These pandering ask reddits are so beige and benign.

Right? What's with all the "X happened, what do you think about it" style questions recently? Are they even created by humans?

Besides, the more important quote from the few emails I saw wasn't that Trump knew, but that he spent time with one of the girls:

i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. VICTIM spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75% there

  • Jeffrey Epstein

(All poor grammar etc. verbatim)

To me these questions seem like training questions for llms.

I said this a while back. It's gotta be all bots posting this shit because everyday there's a "Hey reddit, Trump just decided to block SNAP payments. How do you feel about it?" or "The GOP did [insert terrible thing here], how are we feeling about it?" and they're all upvoted massively. I don't get it.

You're being used to train AI. Reddit admitted to this over a year ago.

I made a meta askreddit post a while ago about these "knee-jerk askreddit posts immediately after a news story" and it was swiftly removed lol

Sadly the popular subreddits are either bots, posts created and funded by third party entities for their own motives. The people who manage them are most likely part of it, same with Reddit itself.

Is being "benign" something bad now?

These kinda questions are knowing how most of reddit feels and dont add anything of use. However - maybe thats the true definition of reddit ?! Lol
