Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…

    Post quality is a bigger indicator, and that does seem to be dropping

    That’s the thing - it’s hard to track this. If anything it’ll be a slow decline

      It’s hard to track this

      Not at all. I can already see a decline in the number of Reddit TTS videos I see on my feed and when I do, they’re mostly years old

        Easy to see anecdotally, hard to define quantitatively. Reddit is never going to publicize that sort of thing as a metric: “ratio of bot activity to subscribed member activity” would be great but we’ll never see those numbers.

          Text to speech. There are Tiktok accounts that just scrape popular text posts from Reddit and read them out through text to speech over a video of something like Minecraft parkour or Subway Surfers.
