The 2025 Superman movie hits it pretty hard with Lex Luthor’s “monkey bots.”
Considering that Blizzard had to mass-ban thousands of WoW gold farmers back in 2005, it should be no surprise whatsoever that all kinds of commercial and political “value” are being “farmed” in every major internet forum today, using every kind of cheap labor available.
How many of these trolls are now using AI to auto-generate their content?
Sounds like what a Warner Brothers AI bot would say… 🧐
J/k btw
Nah. It’s 10% non corporate trolls. The rest is all bots.
I’m doing my part! (Jk, I got banned from Reddit for sharing a Luigi meme and mentioning that historically when things are this bad, people resort to violence)
I honestly can’t stand Reddit since I can’t use Apollo anymore. The official app makes my feed like 40% adds and “suggestions,” so I just stopped using it. Pretty much the only way I see anything on Reddit now is the RDX app, and you can’t post or comment.
I’ve never used a Reddit app - just the web interfaces, almost always old.reddit.com these days. I see more like 4% advertisement, but it does vary by which sub-reddits I view. Doesn’t change the number of trolls whatsoever, but they also vary a lot depending on which sub-reddits you are in, typically the more popular, the more it is overrun with trolls.
Yeah, I don’t understand why someone would want or need to use an app for Reddit. Reddit is a website, just use a browser.
If you’re on mobile, use “desktop mode” if the mobile site starts giving you lip. Or just pre-emptively switch to it.

Worse. State actors to suppress the truth and push their narrative.

Better. Cat people pushing their narrative making me want a cat.
