Right now there is high bot activity on Reddit, but the high amount of users make it tolerable to some extent.

But one thing that I don’t see anyone talk about is what happens when bots to humans ratio become so high(>70%)? Like what if you checked Reddit only to see reposts and propaganda?

Following news websites does not have interactivity and more importantly, sharing events as it happens is something that is rare to get outside Reddit aed TikTok If I am being very honest.

I even stopped seeing more new memes outside meta platforms.

Is there is a forum/app for citzen journalism? Any crowdsourced tech tips forum exist?

    They want their quick fix of dopamine and damned be the minor inconvenience of possibly interacting with a bot. A vast majority don’t realize the massive bot problem and even if a subset of them knew, they wouldn’t care.

    Just like how TikTok is now owned by MAGA but a bunch of my left leaning peers are still hopelessly addicted to it.
