Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone

Comments

There's certainly a reason for the trend of always searching "X Reddit" to get real people's opinions but that's steadily going away.

Reddit certainly started going downhill once they realized they could actually be a public company and make tons of money. Their fate was sealed when they got rid of the user-centric apps like Alien Blue to force their gamified apps ("keep your 18 day streak going!")

Other public platforms like Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Xitter certainly haven't cared much to try to eliminate AI slop and if anything have embraced it. I can't see Reddit doing anything differently.
