[P] I just can't get over the absurd level of astroturfing on Reddit. I mean, I get it from the perspective of the owners of Reddit—they get nice, fat payouts to look the other way—but it's just... how isn't this talked about more? Reddit's gone full dead Internet. The only catharsis I've had recently is with Subnautica, where the MOMENT Krafton lost their case against the Unknown Worlds founders? Gues what happened.

[P] And that's the thing! A person saying "most of your in-group are corpo robots, faceless homunculi" will sound like a conspiracy theorist. Right up until all the bots disappear, anyway. And like I said, thar's precisely ehat happened with the Subnautica subreddit. I remember one making this big emotional post about how unfair it was that "some bastards" were calling them an LLM agent. Gues who also disappeared?
