  • I would stick to niche and small subreddits. Here is why.

    1. Reddit has a lot of bots
    2. Lots of real users are part of reddits contributor program which allows people to get paid from Reddit for their content. Theses users posts will get more visibility than the average lurker.
    3. Reddit makes money off collecting data and selling it to advertisers. Reddit doesn’t want quality community content and engagement. That is just what they promote to get people in the door. The more Reddit knows about their users, the more they can sell to advertisers. That is why they killed the third party apps for the most part. They are following the Facebook business model.

    So basically if you’re commenting on a a trending post that has 500+ comments, you’re probably wasting your time by posting into the abyss. You might have bots and people downvoting your content so they can upvote their own content for more visibility.

    Stick to the small subreddits if you’re not trying to make money off Reddit and want a sense of an online community. It’s not worth it to bots and community content creators to waste too much time in those communities.






  • I’m more tired of algorithms. For example, I like to scroll suggested videos on YouTube. I kept getting the same video suggestions and the same type of videos. Like I would get a ton of channels with Joe Rogan clips. You would have thought I was a mega fan but I rarely listen to Rogan. Anyway, when I got a new phone I was logged out of YouTube and my ‘suggested video’ feed instantly got much better. I have not logged into YouTube since.

    I am also tired of AI though. AI feels like imposter syndrome and is being used by lazy people. For example, I made a website about something I knew nothing about but my website looked like I was ann expert. I used AI write my articles. All I had to do was make sure it sounded good and then post it. A lot of people were doing this now especially if they are trying to make money off affiliated marketing. Anytime you see something like “10 best [fill in the blank]”, that was probably heavily influenced by AI and influenced from other trending articles.
