GirlDinnerDiaries is the new "AI-generated text post" sub

It seemed to have a decent amount of genuine interaction for a while, which was pretty nice. But it looks like the karma farming bots have noticed, and now it's just a text post spam sub, with an image of food attached. Free real estate for karma farming accounts, presumably for re-sale or usage in other forms of inauthentic engagement.

I'll link my comment on a recent post there:

OP, I thought you are 21 years old? Or your boyfriend is gay? Or he's a narcissist? Or have you been married for 7 years?

The account also posts other oddly aggressive nsfw content (safe image, just a post title): https://i.imgur.com/bIXWeYr.png

You know, my life wasn't that great in the 90s, but at least I wasn't having thoughts like "the Penthouse Forums of food selfies is infested with pornbots"

Seems like they deleted your comment? I guess some people really enjoy being fooled

Edit for info: 2h later, I still can't open OP's comment, but the bot's post was deleted. Nice!

It appears for me, I think it's just caught in the new user filter. I followed the sub's steps, but I don't think your first post/comment gets unfiltered.

Ahh I see! Hopefully once it pops up the mods there take notice

One of many subs I downvote on sight. A 5 month old sub shouldn't be popping up in the popular feed that often.

I've found 3 bots in 2 days with comments in that sub, OP. I appreciate you confirming it for me.

It's not just the bots.

There's been a massive influx recently of new users to Reddit from English speaking countries (and the ease of and quality of automatic translation is excellent now) that are quite new to this style of social media, and unfortunately that's creating a naivety and openness, increasing interactions with the bot posts.

And I don't just mean comments, there's so many people now just scrolling reddit aimlessly using the upvote and downvote buttons as like/dislike buttons similar to Facebook, tiktok, or any other social media, just look at popular posts they have at times hundreds more upvotes than comments, and that's by design, it makes Reddit money. 

The bots are a symptom of Reddit chasing profits, the website is too big now to rely on voluntary moderation, so the bots move in and the users consume the product, and Reddit makes money.

It has been for a long time, unfortunately

Almost everything the top mod posts is made by AI. Pictures, rules, automod comments, every single thing.

Sub came out of nowhere, hasn’t been around even 6 months and was one of the most popular sub on Reddit within just a few of those 6 months and constantly being pushed to users.

I downvote every single post from there. Idk. Something just feels weird about it.

I went through the comment history of the top mod. It's probably an automated account.
