Reddit was ruined for me a couple of years ago and AI wasn’t involved. I no longer interact there but I do still read Reddit occasionally. Personally I find it difficult to wade through hundreds of one-liners without forgetting what the post was about.

Reddit was one of the most human places on the Internet, until King Steven the Turd decided that it’s human interactions were a valuable resource that he could sell. Now, it’s all just bots talking to bots to learn how to sound human.

I’m amazed that anybody could even be surprised at this end result. We truly live with some moronic apes on this earth.

@emb@lemmy.world 2025-12-06 16:35
Yes. But, to perhaps a lower extent, this headline is also true if you change ‘Reddit’ to ‘the internet’.

Even the advertisers?

Reddit was ruined long before AI came into the picture. that place hasn’t been good for a decade.

Reddit has been ruined for a while now, this is just it getting worse.

Default subs were already heavily astroturfed garbage. Smaller subs still generally fly under the radar, for now at least.

I am thankful for reddit becoming a mess and Trump made me ditch american companies anyway. Otherwise I never would have discovered Lemmy.

lmfao no, corporate greed and “shareholder value” is ruining both AI and reddit (and pretty much everything else) for everyone.

@Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 2025-12-06 17:42
It’s a noticeable recent change for the worse. It’s hard to find anything interesting there anymore. Is just the same bot-reposted content. And number of the comments seem AI-generated too.

@motor_spirit@lemmy.world 2025-12-06 17:43
reddit was ruined by reddit it’s just evidence that the site went the way of social media and is saturated with people who circulate such things

@Blackmist@feddit.uk 2025-12-06 17:52
Reddit already ruined Reddit. The AI slop is just the broken glass in the turd.
-
@JensSpahnpasta__dup_9958@feddit.org 2025-12-06 18:07
Let’s not blame AI for everything: Reddit had a lot of problems before AI became big. Repost bots are so common that you’ll see the same posts over and over again. Some of those twitter screenshots must have been posted hundreds or thousands of times. OnlyFans spam also works without AI. And we have had those bots spamming the same stupid comments before people were even thinking about GPTs.

Everyone? Lol. Was this written by an idiot that still uses Reddit as their main outlet?

Reddit was ruined long ago, this just accelerates the decline.

I regret wasting all those years trying to fight back all the bots I flagged on that hot garbage platform. But I’m grateful that I gained skills on how to identify an LLM bot from a mile away. Now that they’re starting to creep in Lemmy, I’m prepared.

Reddit was the good place after the fall of Digg 2.0. Now Reddit has become the bad place.

I went on reddit yesterday just for a minute. Saw a post about some guy asking what he could do with a small hallway like space in his house (imagine a small walk in closet without the door). Almost every response I opened up was an AI generated image. That thread alone probably wasted a small swimming pool of water just cause some people couldn’t be arsed to copy and paste a server rack.

It were already infested with Capitalist slop, marketing and propaganda. It was an market religious, propagandized garbagedump for a long long time before AI… The sooner that Capitalist brain-rot disappears the better. ‘AI slop’ is just an extension of normal ‘Capitalist slop’ - garbage that have zero purpose outside a market battlefield…

@kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2025-12-06 21:45
It’s ruining far more than reddit.

Reddit’s founder and investors killed reddit, the method they used is immaterial.
