Am I right? I just read three Reddit posts. Their formats and writing styles are so similar as if someone just used ChtGpt to mass produce posts

    I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic

    Which only tells us anything about drama subs.

    Edit: Reddit has, what, >100k active subs and ~500 million active monthly users. Even if half of them were literal bots that’d leave you with ~250 million monthly meatbags using the site.

    50–100 times the population of eg. Finland—“everybody on reddit is the same and they’re like chatbots, amirite?”

    Revenge of the Edit: and before any of y’all get any bright ideas, I use em & en dashes because I’m a ginormous nerd who also uses interrobangs (“uses what‽”), fite me

      You’re not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because that post at a much higher rate than a person can.
