This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Will the bots be what ends it?

Eventually it'll be all bots jerking themselves off

AI really is taking our jobs, huh?

It's already dead. r/wholesomememes decided to allow only original content (no bots or reposts), and, after two days the only post was one begging human users to post anything original.

There are no users left. It's bots all the way through, like maggots in a rotting corpse.

Half the users may as well be bots anyway, it's just dorks yelling the same catch phrases at each other in the comments.

Have a look at r/wholesomememes; they decided to allow only original content (no bots or reposts), and, after two days the only post was one begging human users to post anything original.

Much more than half the users are bots.

Subs like that are bot farms for sure, but it's been common knowledge for a decade that the default subs are awful. The ratio in smaller subs is probably a lot better.

Besides, I think things did get better there after a while?

I just had a look... there were four posts yesterday.
Seven the day before.
For a sub with over 17 million subscribers.

It doesn't look much better, I'd say.
