    I mostly feel the opposite.

    Reddit is one of the only search results that actually has content made by humans.

      I mean, you’re right if by humans you mean kids.

      Depending on the subject, I encounter more and more threads with <deleted by user> content. And billions and billions and billions of results that are either spam or written by unprofessionals.

      The smart crowd is not there anymore. The smart crowd that once was there, has removed the content that Reddit was worth visiting for. Let the Googzz have them and sell ads to each other.

        I have honestly not noticed any large differences before or after the api changes protests. I have also not noticed any large difference in quality But maybe we visit different communities.

        To me it feels about the same as Lemmy except that Lemmy feels even more unprofessional and childish when people are so incredibly narrow minded. Like doing childish things like intentionally spelling Google or Microsoft wrong.

        Unfortunately Lemmy is also absolutely useless when it comes to anything I would ever search for, since I never search for about opinions about: Microsoft, Linux, Communism, City planning, Twitter, Rich people and when to eat them, and a couple other topics.

          Reddit was already invaded by bots before the API. I’d say it was most obvious right before the time Trump was elected.

          Sounds like you’re too smart to be on Lemmy. Sorry I offended you by spelling the name of your favorite ad company wrong.

            Yeah I’m well aware of the bot issue. I don’t spend as much time on Reddit any more but it feels like it has gotten better.

            Sounds like you’re too smart to be on Lemmy. Sorry I offended you by spelling the name of your favorite ad company wrong.

            Nah, you didn’t offend me in any way. Don’t you worry. You just acted childish. Nothing wrong with that.
