Marketers and their bots have been using reddit to hype up brands. No wonder Reddit feels like shit these days.

    If AI floods every single comment section, to the point the humaness of social media has been completely removed (which it is reaching that imo), how would it effect our consumption of it?

    Looking at instagram, my feed is mostly meaningless garbage (which might be my fault to an extent), but what it has meant I simply don’t find any reason to go onto it at all. Would this happen on mass if/when AI is so prevalent (lets say a 9:1 bot commenter to human commenter ratio), that we simply have no interest in it anymore?

      Either that or folks will happily shovel the slop into their eyeballs and lose all critical thinking ability. It’s a toss-up.
