I spent ten years on Reddit. I can use that to compare for myself the amount of engagement then and now.
If most of the users are not bots I would be so surprised. I think they lost a huge percentage of traffic and are now knowingly faking live user counts
I was on there for 15 and modded/started a pile of communities. I go back now for research and it's all bots and deleted comments. Maybe the default subs are full of real people but I doubt it. The very, very niche subs still seem to have people in them, but are nowhere as active as they used to be.
I'm sure Reddit is gaming the investors. You can't trust lying Pigboy farther than you can kick him.
I would like to believe actual laws are being broken, and one day certain people will go to jail. I am vindictive about that whole series of events. I liked Reddit before piggy and pals destroyed it
I was there for 10 years myself and I fully agree. I think peak Reddit was during the age of the novelty accounts; it still felt new & fun, like you were a part of something no one knew about, even though everybody knew about it.
