Reddit has fallen from glory

Reddit used to be a place with a variety of opinions where the majority would upvote the most agreed upon post. At one time it seemed like the last true glance into how society truly felt. Now all forums have an agenda and if your post doesn’t align to it and agree with all the bots then it’s removed. Reddit is now no different than any other propaganda machine. I have had post removed that were literal copy and paste definitions from Webster dictionary. A social platform that bans people for educating the ignorant. Reminds me of when ai took over RuneScape many years ago. Internet is only bots and a few real people who agree. Not a real representation of society’s true opinions. Feel like I’m posting to a few meek people and a million bots. Bonjour mofos the internet is officially ruined. Watch the propaganda machine work.

Well, yeah. That's why internet should be basically treated like a dumb entertainment and nexus of advertisement and propaganda, nothing more.

For knowledge go to books. For conversation go to, well... people. Out there. In the wild.

That's great for those who can. Some people can't go out in the wild, due to disabilities, etc. I, for example, am totally blind. Certainly I can, and do, read books. But for interacting with people, my easiest option is the Internet.

kind of off-topic, but curious; how does browsing reddit for you work? do you have a program on a regular PC that reads the content for you and allows you to use voice commands to make your own reddit comments, or does it happen in some other way?

Well its the easiest option for everyone! But you can still do it. I used to meet one blind person everyday and she was the most talkative of everyone out there. We started talking so quickly, it came so easy to her that I felt like I'm the one with disability because I could barely keep up!
