Right now there is high bot activity on Reddit, but the high amount of users make it tolerable to some extent.

But one thing that I don't see anyone talk about is what happens when bots to humans ratio become so high(>70%)? Like what if you checked Reddit only to see reposts and propaganda?

Following news websites does not have interactivity and more importantly, sharing events as it happens is something that is rare to get outside Reddit aed TikTok If I am being very honest.

I even stopped seeing more new memes outside meta platforms.

Is there is a forum/app for citzen journalism? Any crowdsourced tech tips forum exist?
