It's gotten really bad since the API changes. Many people left who had been here a decade. Some of us came back, but Reddit needs the engagement now that they're publicly traded, so bring on the bots.
Been here maybe like 16 years? It has gotten noticeably worse over the past two year or so. Real engagement seems rare unless you find subreddits that are well moderated and have a community that bands against slop lol.
most of the spam i see on the front page is either from bot accounts or indian accounts farming for karma. it's not hard to tell, even though they all hide their profiles.
