it's weird because I think like others here, reddit has lost it's allure for me (after 12 years of devoted active participation). but I can't point out something specific that caused it. I knew many comments were bots and trolls before, and the ratio hasn't changed (probably) since I quit, but I definitely can't trust basically anything I read on Reddit anymore. maybe chatgpt killed it for me?

I'm glad I finally quit, but now I just check hn twice as much. at least there are less memes tho
