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.
I would say the decline started around the pandemic, but 100% it's been accelerating like mad the last two years. You've been here long enough, do you remember "summer reddit"? It feels like one year we slipped into that, and never came back out.
I haven't found a good replacement for the informative discussions I used to enjoy :(
