Absolutely. The quality drop on discussions was wild. I used to spend hours a week discussing on reddit. Now despite still using it to keep up to date on various topics, I rarely comment.

The post quality dropped quite a bit as well at that time. But that has always been a steady “eternal September” type of decline so it’s harder to isolate the cause.

Reddit will become less and less useful to the AI giants for training if it doesn’t contain new and ongoing deep communication like it once did.
