For one point, I was a daily active user of Reddit for 10 years, I deleted my account and left the platform in January over LLM content.


Yes. I did not left but visit the site less often and kind of worry about its future. The engagement over what I post is just much lower, while the number of reported visitors seems to increase. I don't mind some good quality AI comment, sometimes one see it, but overall it is slowly becoming ghost town.


Same, but recently I discussed the LLM flood on Reddit with some friends IRL and they were surprised I had left Reddit, as they simply hadn't noticed significant bot activity. Mind you, these are very AI-aware people. I have little hope that normies will catch on and actually mind enough to leave.


Something I’ve noticed is a lot of Gen Z people just straight up giving up phones and social media lately. Not so much because of AI but just the widespread negative impacts of what the tech has become.
