It's already dead. r/wholesomememes decided to allow only original content (no bots or reposts), and, after two days the only post was one begging human users to post anything original.

There are no users left. It's bots all the way through, like maggots in a rotting corpse.

    Except... it looks like people did start posting. So the users were crowded out by bots before and they're posting now. That just shows that Reddit isn't dead, but it does have too many bots.

    I mean, I'm sure many people here wish there was more non-bot content. It's annoying to see something on Reddit and come back here and see the same thing.

    Asking people to post on their sub is fuckin hilarious to me. Like that's some major, pressing issue in anyone's life.

    "Sorry, I can't hang out today. Wholesome Memes subreddit needs me to post there! I'm doing it for the shareholders! Without them, reddit would never survive!"

    Like.... Is this how he expected that to go..???

    If you read it, the mod certainly didn't beg. They just mentioned that they're still blocking bots and to not be discouraged from posting original content.

    Also I find it highly doubtful that the mods of that subreddit are concerned about shareholders. Why would a mod care about money when they're not even getting paid? They most likely just care about keeping the community alive.

    Not to take away the point. Which I think is something most Lemmy users have realized ages ago, reddit is so full of repost bots that it makes gallowboob look like a saint. So much in fact that after two days, not a single original post has occurred in a subreddit with a reported 17 million followers.

    Why would a mod care about money when they're not even getting paid?

    Better question, why the hell are they volunteering for free to moderate a paid multimillion dollar publicly traded company? The mods on Reddit have a God complex. They literally think that if they don't do what they do then the entire website would fall apart. Like a nurse in a hospital. It's insane
