Yeah, Reddit has lost sight of what made it great: like-minded individuals curating content for each other.

Now Reddit wants to get rid of mods and replace them with AI, because their shareholders are scared of blackouts whenever Reddit doesn’t listen to their community.

It’s gonna turn into another Instagram shit hole.

It doesn’t help that very obscure things trigger shadowbans, and unlike suspensions basically nobody looks at appeals for those. Reddit support is virtually impossible to reach now.

Couple that with people getting auto-suspended by the Reddit AI bot for quoting movies and new accounts requiring 100+ karma to participate on 95% of subs, old users are being pushed out while new users are being pushed away.

The only people who would bother farming karma now are those who have financial incentives to do so. A lot of the low effort content you see are karma farming bots doing things like splitting old videos and uploading them in pieces to maximize how much karma they can get via multiple posts.

Cultural differences. Narration is common in Japanese CMs, but not in western trailers.

Another interesting choice is how they are replacing Automod with Automations, but Automations is currently only able to flag content for review by mods.

Are they using mods as free labor to train AI… to replace human moderators? 😂 Because that’s really what it seems like.

Reddit is going all in on taking it all for themselves.

Just saw this. They’re trying to suffocate it before pulling the plug.

I’d say it’s worse than that. A lot of subs are now limited by karma as well, thus getting your first 100 can now take upwards of a month. This is primarily because the subs that do allow posting have become overrun by new accounts and bots.

The new user experience has become atrociously bad, with a lot of users complaining on r/newtoreddit. Many end up getting pushed away and leaving. Without new users, bots have less competition. Makes for an all-around terrible experience for all users, new and old.

Reddit is fully leaning into their AI for all moderation decisions. It started with violence, and now they’re expanding into racism. The problem with this AI model is it’s tuned really, really badly.

For example: you cannot post instructions for how to save someone from a dog attack (because it involves using a belt to choke the dog). The AI considers this violence, even though you are trying to save their life.

For racism, you cannot quote anyone. If a store manager tells you “don’t sell to black people,” and you go to Reddit to complain, quoting what your manager told you will get you suspended.

You used to be able to dispute these false warnings and Reddit was still usable, but now they’re being either ignored or denied for unexplained reasons.

Reddit just does not give a shit anymore. If 15% of their users are struggling to use the site, they think it’s acceptable.

Get a NAS.

That’s because he needs to look at free testosterone, not total testosterone. Bound testosterone cannot be readily used by the body and is not an accurate reflection of one’s sexual health.

So yeah, his T serum can be above 1,000 ng/dL and he could be a babyface.

Most notorious reason for low free testosterone is lack of sleep, which can also be indicated by high reverse t3.

Brother’s been anti-consumer for at least 5 years now. Not sure why people are just learning about it now.

Brother blocking 3rd party toner was the primary reason why I went with Canon back in 2020.

Or just use an extractor.
