I have noticed that only Reddit has new posts every minute. Poal and Score sometimes have no new posts for a while. I wonder why Reddit has still so many users, even if there are also many posts with people complaining about censorship. Why don't they just move to Poal or Score instead of wasting time on Reddit?

bots and shills are not users

I think people underestimate how many bots there are on the Internet, in general.

old.reddit.com/r/stonkfeed are some of my bots and they make posts 24/7.

There are thousands of GPT3 bots that make fake conversations, as well.

THEN, you add the shills and reddit is literally 99% bullshit and the only way to sift through it is with Reddit Enhancement Suite on old.reddit in browser.

They have shredded most of my bots, by now, as they were more closely aligned with Poal's values.

I even made a PoalFeed bot at one point and, just based on the titles we post here, the bot was neutered and the posts removed.

I can't even remember how many bots I've abandoned as I utilize free services and accounts that I've long since lost passwords to.

old.reddit.com/r/arrestsweb just hums steadily along with zero maintenance.

old.reddit.com/r/newswhatever I abandoned right after I made it.
