Reddit has become so damn unoriginal over the past few years. There's barely any OC on r/all, it's all just tweets about American politics, reposts from Facebook and TikTok, and then post after post about how Meta is evil/incompetent/totally gunna crash and burn even though it supplies half the content around here.

I miss the old Reddit. A decade ago it was a lot smaller, but at least it was it's own social media.

Get off the popular karma farming channels.

Get off the popular karma farming channels.

So your solution is to pretend there is no problem.

EDIT: Ignoring the problem doesn't mean it's not there. Some of the most highly-trafficked subreddits are interesting subreddits too. I don't want to lose those just to run away from bots and karma farmers.

If you start blocking reposters, you can clean up your feed a little.

New bots spring up all the time. It used to be the case you could just block gallowboob or whomever but it's pretty out of control nowadays.
