The level of engagement on Reddit these days
(lemmy.ca)
Just a few years ago, you would never see such a disparity in votes vs comments. But these days, this is pretty much the norm. I've seen posts with 10K+ upvotes and no more than 80 comments.
I'd say in about 2 years, the entire place is going to be bots with AI generated content that try to mimic "real users" using their new Dynamic Product Ads tool. Not sure how that's legal as I thought ads needed to be marked or differentiated from regular content, but here we are.
The future looks bleak and AI even bleaker. Because it's going to be used against us to make the rich richer and not to make our lives better.
As I've heard someone say last year: "I wish Reddit a happy Digg.com"
What is this cursed place? The clickbait has eaten everything. uBlock should make this into a blank page.
Somehow I never tried looking at Digg
It reminds me of the original "Your doctor doesn't want you to know these 8 tricks for belly fat" ads, only that's the actual content?
I'm not really adding to the conversation with this but wanted to share anyway:
Stupid overweight body of Christ.
