MODERATORS
Normally I'm skeptical of "Reddit is full of bots" claims because Occam's Razor tells me it's probably just a bunch of wealthy white techbros having wealthy white techbro opinions
But exact comment chains being posted verbatim months later is incredibly damning
The internet is dead
(exept hexbear)
It's a bit surreal to see tbh
I'd have believed it was just wealthy white techbros having wealthy white techbro opinions if if the unqualified smugness was at least mixed up a little. It wouldn't be that hard for a program to imitate combinations of "um" "honestly, let's be honest" "____ much?" and ableistic concern trolling insults.
A couple of years ago the Navy bought an ad campaign which included them streaming on twitch everyday. They always had a few thousand viewers which I thought was bullshit especially because there were only 10 or so people chatting. After watching the chat for about 30 minutes the same 10 chatters had the exact same things to say again. 30 minutes later it happened again.
I was going to document it, but by the time I decided to people like y’all came in and started spamming things like “What’s your favorite war crime????” and it became way to chaotic to prove it.
