    And how many of those “active users” are bots? There’s been articles coming out that between 20-40% of reddits userbase are inorganic accounts.

    Another large portion of them are Nazis and Zionists. I’d rather not be involved with any of that.

      I have heard ablut these articles which is based on absolutely nothing. All estimates and theises. No evidence. However, I think there is ofc some truth to it. I just haven’t met any one, being clear botish in their behavior.

      Most of the people I interacted with, was sport heads and tech/software nerds on niche forums. So, must of the users was weekly active users responding sporadicly with a human way of communicating. I really doubt some of those guys were ai to be honest. And if they were, I actually enjoyed it so much, that I rather fill out a niche forum in here with types like that, rather than 0 people.
