When compared to ~5-10 years ago, I find Reddit comments and posts to be more difficult to read.

I am curious as to why this is. I suspect this could be because of bot posts, but am not sure.

All the cool people are leaving reddit and coming here, leaving only dumb people and LLM "agents".

    I'd argue that it's not even the cool people coming here anymore. Seems most of the cool people are moving on with the real world and dropping social media completely.

    its mostly bot generated content, comments and reposts. only a small number are actually generated by people now. they banned most of them, and forced the ones that still have reddit accounts to lurk instead.
