Is this new to post-blackout reddit is or has it been this way for a while. Top post of r/all is a tweet from like 2 years ago about a "current event" that no one has talked about since then and 100% of the comments are talking about this like this topic is the focus of today's or any recent time's 24 hour news cycle. Nearly 30K upvotes. 100 comments. Feels like ai/bot cosplaying what an actual hot reddit post would be like but in a world without people.

LOL, that's how Reddit's traffic is "back to normal".

Bots upvoting bots replying to bots commenting on bot reposts.

Reddit 2023.

Apparently they learned a lot from r/subredditsimulator

Holy shit I completely forgot about that. So much irony.

Now that this is the whole site, there should be a version of that sub where humans post.

I greatly enjoyed SubredditSimulator's bizarre nonsense. When that sub closed and the new GPT2-based one replaced it I didn't find it particularly interesting because it was just regular nonsense. It was too normal.

I guess the new bots are even more normal and therefore even less interesting.
