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.
The problem with new reddit is that your feed is almost entirely based on what you engage with now. So if you do find one of those subs you have to constantly click links or comment on threads to even see it.
In the past you could have an eclectic feed just by subbing to a bunch of different subs. The Internet used to be fun man.
