Long-awaited, said no one. Is AI going to fabricate even more of the bullshit on reddit then?

Is this dead Internet theory?

You want to see dead internet theory, go browse top all time on any subreddit that used to allow submissions from gfycat. It's a wasteland.

Problem is Reddit content and votes aren't all human so unless they kept a record of which parts are just chatbots and which votes were faked its not exactly useful to train on in a pure sense.

Considering the disinformation wars and botnets between the big countries its hard to even get a idea of what people really think and what is bullshit and what isn't.

In any case I'm glad reddit has fucked themselves. This small corner of sanity is a bastion in a shit blizzard.
