I’m convinced that media that keep saying this are in cahoots with advertisers who have noticed this ages ago and have astroturfed Reddit beyond being reliable source of information since then.
Yeah, it’s really weird that people keep acting like Reddit hasn’t been astroturfed to shit for years at this point. I wouldn’t trust the product reviews I see there.
What I find not only strange, but extremely suspect, is that people who acknowledge that reddit has been heavily astroturfed deny up and down that it’s also happening here.
i took a month long hiatus and am probably gonna continue that pattern. the threadiverse has gone completely insane the last couple months and i worry about the people for whom this is their sole gateway into the fediverse, and what they think the consensus on what reality is. i’m mostly on mastodon at this point and have been just… talking to my neighbors more

Just like it took a decade for media and mainstream to pick up Reddit, it’ll take a decade for that to seep through.
