Does anybody feel like the quality of reddit has already dropped massively? (kbin.social)

I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.

We'd need an objective way to measure lameness and then review a large set of posts (on a particular sub?) from a couple of months ago vs now. Criteria have to be pre-determined to avoid the post hoc fallacy.

Average words or characters per comment? Number of insults directed at other commenters (measured by someone blinded to which group they came from)? Number of "controversial" comments judged by large numbers of up and downvoted?

I dunno. I'm not doing it. Not a social scientist. Just suggesting an interesting experiment.

Hey there JWBananas! If you agree with someone else's comment, please leave an upvote instead of commenting "THIS"! By upvoting instead, the original comment will be pushed to the top and be more visible to others, which is even better! Thanks! :)

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are made of letters.

I have checked 1,599,379,698 comments, and only 302,533 of them were made of letters.

Saying "this" is lazy, but sending a bot to chide people for you is lazy and clogs up threads too.
