When compared to ~5-10 years ago, I find Reddit comments and posts to be more difficult to read.
I am curious as to why this is. I suspect this could be because of bot posts, but am not sure.
You aren’t supposed to be reading the comments you are supposed to be clicking the ads.
The neat thing is the comments are the ads now.
I had a high school student tell me the others day that they were out of school for “confrinsis” so I think education is part of this. I have a few friends that are teachers and they’ve said since covid and especially with AI, kids can’t read, can’t spell, and can’t think critically. Obviously not all of them but enough to notice.
Edit, a word.
that part is pretty true, studies already came out that even college students arnt up to part with even with “remedial math” or even algebra.
Yeah it’s crazy
it was pretty bad before.at least 2 professors, 1 math and english told us that people were graduating HS with 9-10th grade english and math skill and this was like a little of 10years ago. education is lacking even under a blue area/ state, i assume thats why military recruiters were targeting these schools from time to time.
All the cool people are leaving reddit and coming here, leaving only dumb people and LLM “agents”.
its mostly bot generated content, comments and reposts. only a small number are actually generated by people now. they banned most of them, and forced the ones that still have reddit accounts to lurk instead.
My favorite is when I see a 2 month old account with 4 million karma. Yeah that’s totally a real person.
I’d argue that it’s not even the cool people coming here anymore. Seems most of the cool people are moving on with the real world and dropping social media completely.
Maybe you just became older and don’t understand modern slang? Plus censorship progresses, so many people express their thoughts in more intricate way.
It isn’t slang that’s throwing me off, per say. It’s the poorly written sentences (that’s if they even use punctuation).
