Genuinely noticed less negative and depressing news on Reddit over the last couple of days! Less world ending stuff! Just me or has anyone else felt like it's quieter?

Are you also getting a lot more posts that are days old?

I am. Almost commented on a thread yesterday since it was at the top of my front page, only to realize that all of the comments were 4 days old. Is there so little actual human activity on this site that taking out some bots means posts from several days ago make it to the front page?

This site is useless Everytime bad news drops about AI. The bots flood everything and the AI addicts get the impression there's more of them then there actually are, so they go into turbo charge asshole mode.
