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.
Got examples? I've never seen this once as a Kbin user.
They come up every few weeks, usually admins ban them quickly
Here's one: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795 I always see them popping up under random@kbin.social
Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
Here's my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png
