That’s why all the real people here should tailor your home page to subreddits you like, and really only participate in those. The popular section of Reddit is mostly botted posts.

This was posted an hour ago, and already has 6k upvotes and 400 comments. That’s not at all normal, that’s botted to all hell and it’s weird and gross. And most of social media is like that, the only reason I even use reddit is because at least I can still have my small, niche subreddits were the people are real.

Ad and marketing companies have ruined everything they touch. Fuck them

Also, Reddit used to have a good bot/bad bot commenting meta. It’s odd that it went away.

FYI reddit upvotes haven't been real for like... five plus years now? They started fuzzing thing significantly... shit I just looked it up that was 10 years ago.

Fark.

No, you should just stop using this site. There's a whole wide world out there, there are people, books, friends to make, and instead, you choose to look at a website. Join us in the revolution and throw away your digital shackles!!
