Hey all, Still occasionally dipping into Reddit but am finding myself gradually transitioning to Lemmy (shoutout to Memmy!). I was wondering if anyone here knows, what has reddit traffic been like these last few months? Is it declining or holding strong? Thanks
Hard to say, from what i know they use a shit load of bots to cover up user loss.
Didnt someone on here say they sold a 10+ year account with a crap ton of karma for like 1400$?
Damn, no one made me that offer and my account is 13 years old.
Where does one see such things offered for sale?
Deeply skeptical. Mine is 15 years old with a few hundred k karma and it isn’t worth shit.
Yeah mine is similar and I looked up its value and it wasn’t worth the effort of selling it.
We should all sell our accounts. Not like I’m using it anymore lol
I wouldn’t tho given theres a chance it will be exploited but then again I didn’t have such account so mine doesn’t have a lot of weight behind

They did it to r/de, no reason to believe they have stopped. https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13p889x/reddit_admins_were_just_caught_using_bots_or_fake/
I wonder if this could be grounds for a fraud case in relation to their upcoming IPO. You can’t fabricate metrics directly informing the value of a security I think.

Source, go to reddit and read the comments of a top post of the day in a default sub.
About half the comments are copy paste or literally generated by a chatbot. I know people there behave like NPCs but thats a new low. I think The Verge made a Article about it as well.

Where’d you hear/see this?
There was a shit ton of gpt model bots even when I was using it and they weren’t interested in doing anything about it so safe to say it’s only getting worse
