What's funny is that Reddit has been heavily infested by bots and trolls even before widespread LLM usage for chatbots. And it became even more evident after certain subs became dead overnight after Reddit got banned in Russia.

And now it has come to just a cycle of AI data regurgitation and eating it back up. 🌚
