> Reddit has been a hive mind lately. If you scroll through the comments, most of them will have the same opinion over and over, with comments that add nothing to the discussion, like "I agree," getting hundreds of upvotes.

That has been the case for over 10 years now. It's absolutely not a new phenomenon.




It got much worse a few years ago. I am a daily Reddit user and it was a big difference.


I feel so old that I remember the post-2016 election when Reddit started down this path. It's been particularly bad in the last few years but agree. Ever since the_donald and the admin's reactions to it, it's been bad.


Damn, 2016 was almost 10 years ago. When I said 10 I was more thinking 2010-2011
