    Real or faked? Because they have tons of bots and paid traffic to make the site look busier than it actually is. Steve figured that out years ago because he’s a sociopathic liar with access to venture capital and an IPO to defraud.

      Steve looks forward to the hell of interfacing with shareholders, which makes me giddy. Reddit is now a money machine and no longer a community. The enshitification is well underway.

        Hi Aaron, Thankyou for leading me to find Cory Doctorow’s essay on enshittification. I think this should be taught in every higher learning institution in the world, immediately.

      Oh from the day Reddit went live there have been fake accounts. That’s how Steve and Alexis made it look like people were using the site.
