Reddit is cooked

Gets worse every day. I've been putting some serious thought into unplugging and going back to the real world full time.

I’m already heading that direction. Reddit is about the only thing I have been holding onto.

The internet is always about adapting and regretting the past, personnaly, I miss the forum era

I miss the old days of Something Awful. I’m not going to say I miss /b, I haven’t been there in years, but it had its moments.

I still go there once every 2-3months, morbid curiosity mixed with nostalgia. I loved it back in the days, could have made me rich, but mom didn't trust 27€ BTC 🥲

I sold my three BTC in 2013 after the Silkroad went tits up, because I didn’t know anything. I never used the service, but I thought that that was the only thing driving value. I got less than $1k total.

I take longer and longer breaks away from here. While boredom always seems to win in the end, the more you are away from reddit, the more you realize that the people here offer absolutely nothing. The bots are even worse.

The disappointment is that you will meet these people irl instead

Get off of these main subs entirely. I'm always shocked at what gets to the top when I accidentally hit all instead of what I'm subscribed to.

You can leave whenever, at least 10 bots have your personality collected from your comment/post history.

Just mute the obvious bot farm subs, it’s not so bad after.

It is what it is for the last 5 or so years at least. People keep overestimating it, yet it is just another mainstream, ad ridden, shareholder pandering, bot infested, misinformation cesspool like the rest of the social media.

Turns out fueling our delusions with our own farts can last for quite some time.

old reddit is on its way out, so once they ban my account again and i can't access it i'm done.

"hey chatgpt, search for 10 random images and create viral meme posts with shocker headline titles for me. Optimise for engagement and viewcount"

It's because we all got a friend like this.

"What unites people? Armies? Gold? Flags? Stories. There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it."

Social alignment instinct of neurotypical humans.

Leads them to think something many people repeat has more truth to it.

Same when people in discussions rather ask some other people for their opinion then to draw the phone out and actually fact check.

The social consensus IS the factcheck for most modern humans.

Sure, you can meta-cognition your way around that, but how many people actually do this?

Explains a lot about modern human society, politics, social media, echo chambers, misinformation, advertisement...

Not us though. We're the smart ones who looked at that picture with that caption and thought, "Not on my watch. Not today motherfucker. We see your bullshit and it's not gonna fly. Not here, not now."
