I think it’s partly a selection effect of who bothered to come here. On the positive end, scrolling All is more likely to show things relevant to me I wouldn’t have found.

One time, when runescape did a supermassive bot ban, people began complaining that once crowded areas of the game felt eerily empty now that only real people were there.

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.
There is an advantage to that though, on Reddit by the time a post reached my front page it was several hours old and had so many comments it wasn’t worth me commenting on. On here people are much more likely to actually see my comments
