#2I've come accross many posts from this subreddit that hit the front page. Let's just say I hope reddit is keeping an eye on foreign and domestic troll farms as many of the most popular posts seem suspiciously like fiction to me...

#3Some posts in that subreddit are genuine and I support them, but some others and mainly the comments, man, that is basically an edgy teen's communist era playground. One of the mods even said, that the subreddit is for socialists and communists and everybody else is just conservative.

Most of the more "out there" posts line up with /r/legaladvice, which is my bellwether for the kind of shit that goes down in the low-end American workplace (spoiler : goddamn awful,).

#6That sub has changed so much in the last year. Used to be more light-hearted, rallying around crappy bosses and laughing at the gall of an employer.

I'm still convinced reddit's userbase is heavily composed of GPT-3 bots. There was a poster here that identified a large amount of accounts as bots by sending them a DM with a link and seeing how fast they opened it.
