    one of the most human spaces left on the internet

    Journalism once again demonstrating they are about 10-15 years behind on the times. Did they forget reddit completely broke back in 2016 when the_donald left the place in a permanent troll state.

    I’m not going to read the article on account of time right now but I’m guessing it’s written as if reddit was invented yesterday and the prior 20 years of reddit history is didn’t happen.

    It hasn’t been human since the early 2010s. Reddit was botted to death long before LLMs.

      Didn’t the owner of the_donald try to close it down himself, only to be told by the admins that he couldn’t because it brought too much traffic to the site? Or am I thinking of that KotakuInAction sub?
