All Reddit posts all so similar as if they are written by the same person.
Am I right? I just read three Reddit posts. Their formats and writing styles are so similar as if someone just used ChtGpt to mass produce posts

outgroup bad, applause please
People have been saying this on reddit since before I left reddit.
I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic and obviously bullshit before I even considered leaving.
most of those subs are anyway " i want to be writer see here my storys" subs. its all fiction.

Which only tells us anything about drama subs.
Edit: Reddit has, what, >100k active subs and ~500 million active monthly users. Even if half of them were literal bots that'd leave you with ~250 million monthly meatbags using the site.
50–100 times the population of eg. Finland—"everybody on reddit is the same and they're like chatbots, amirite?"
Revenge of the Edit: and before any of y'all get any bright ideas, I use em & en dashes because I'm a ginormous nerd who also uses interrobangs ("uses what‽"), fite me
You're not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because that post at a much higher rate than a person can.
Oh no maybe only 10x the population of Finland, this completely wrecks my argument.
Do you honestly seriously think that the ratio of bots to people on Reddit is so high that you're more likely to see bot-generated (and not by just any bots but ones masquerading as humans) content than not?
Lemmy is elitist AF towards the old country but in this area they have a point.
