Reddit Is No Longer the “Weird” Social Media. It’s Also Not Quite Normal.::There’s the Reddit of ‘Dumb Money’ that prompted a major fiasco in the finance industry, and then there’s the Reddit of celebrity AMAs and refining your pedestrian Google searches. On today’s Reddit, you can have both.

Now its mainstream with 50% bots 10% hatespeach and 40% assholes...

The Venn diagram of an asshole who makes a hatespeech bot (which sadly isn't fictional) would just be a circle. Just saying, you don't need to make your numbers hit exactly 100.

It literally is, that's where I saw that kind of bot more than once.

You can have both, but you can’t have a functional mobile experience.
