It's worse than MSNBC, because so many people don't realize how alarmingly astroturfed most of reddit is. They still have some trust that it's organic, on average. But almost everyone knows TV media is untrustworthy (even if many don't act on that knowledge...).

Can confirm. A family member keeps sending me Reddit bullshit.

Worse.

It's funny because bots and AI are mow able to have full conversations with real members. So, lots of it is inorganic and a waste of time.

That makes sense to me.

I haven't been there for months, with the exception of links posted here.

I completely agree that it's a waste of time. It was fun while it lasted.
