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
Reddit posts were a significant source for training LLMs. The algorithms know what people want.
Well, then their algorithm is trite and sucky.

People have been saying this on reddit since before I left reddit.
I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic and obviously bullshit before I even considered leaving.
most of those subs are anyway " i want to be writer see here my storys" subs. its all fiction.

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.

Lemmy is elitist AF towards the old country but in this area they have a point.
You are kinda right. People make posts similar to other popular posts all the time. Sort by new and you’ll see tons of low effort knock off posts trying to karma farm posting essentially the same things that are currently popular.
This! All are all attention grabbing with no substance. No wonder I left Reddit.
What are you looking at? The front page?
Some of niche subs do indulge in group think or suffer from brain drain. But they still feel sort of human… but I can only imagine what the “general” subs look like now.
Probably because the same content or tone tends to get up voted by the general community. Go to niche subs, or sort by new, and things are much different.

Repost by bots? Then those are bad bots just for karma farming, right?
Yes to make spam accounts to sell and these then add again spam
I hate them so much. They make us real human look bad
