Real people who don't expect something back in return from you is what made reddit special. Advice is given because someone wanted to help as opposed to wanting a like, subscribe, notification bell, patron, merch store, etc. Now they want to turn into into some influencer platform full of people trying to sell shit whether it's themselves or some crap.

Exactly. People on Reddit usually don't have any incentive to lie about e.g. the quality of a fridge brand. Give them an incentive and it immediately becomes as useless as Google seo spam
