Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.
It’s been so surface level, basic and pseudo inspirational for years
for real!! i browsed it a few years ago and like all of the mental health posts were as good as those ‘your life int a movie dont end it’ youtube comments
People finally find a place to be happy and bots come and ruin it. I hate robots.
Be better: hate the humans who deployed the bots.
Be better: hate the system that incentivizes deploying bots.
I’ve got enough hate for everything.
Lmk if y’all need any extra, I’m seethin’ over here
Back in the 90s there was an article about some “spam king” guy who was blasting out millions of emails and basically crushing mail servers and making inboxes useless. They interviewed him and he was all indignant about it like “I have the right to do this” and all that.
That is when I knew the internet and humanity was doomed from the start.
There’s a Wikipedia page about him:
He looks exactly as I envisioned him
Mr Dink???
where is image from?
plus, if you’re going to break the law, there are plenty of better images to choose frombiggest version i could find, suspiciously photo has top of hair cropped
tip: if there’s no copyright notice, that means that you CANNOT use the imagethat’s fine, copyright law is stupid
A meme is by definition a repost though. The reuse is literally what makes it a meme.
I’d estimate as much as 50% of the entire community left on Reddit are bots. I’ve seen people being downvoted systemically, just for saying completely ordinary things that aren’t even controversial.
Other than bots, who else is even still on Reddit…? :-P It’s bots interacting with bots, all the way down.
I would be but I’m banned for no reason lol
Most of reddit seems to be bots posts now, or reddit employees. They shot themselves in the chest when they did their greedy deeds.
