    You can see where the AI bots have taken over - entire comment chains where old reddit tropes are just passed back and forth without any real context, critique, humor, or understanding.

    That just sounds like the typical askreddit comment section for the past decade, ngl

      Considering askreddit was the first sub I personally noticed go from feeling like anywhere else online to become blatantly overrun with bots and astroturfing, feels like a chicken-or-the-egg situation.

      Nah, they used to mostly fit the context. Over the last few years when looking for some thing technical and got reddit memes in newer posts were just tossed in randomly like a five year old who just learned a slang term. Older posts had memes that fit the post and comments.

      Yeah, I thought the same thing as well. I’ve got no doubt it’s gotten worse, but the place was never known for originality.
