they also lost a ton of traffic i believe too, AI slop posting and reposting, prop bots, and your spammers have mostly taken over most subs.
im betting those brief comments you mentioned are just the spammers "warming up thier accounts"as to not get banned by reddit filters, they dont contribute anymore than that. im in another forum where they discuss how to warm up thier accounts this way. also propaganda bots do it too.
i to noticed multiple post of the same thing on the front page, if its political or a news worthy, it would be up to 4-5 times on the front page alone, also likely by the same poster. and then alot of the"interesting type subs" are also double/triple posting some clearly AI generated videos.
