I honestly question if it even still has the same amount of traffic. Like it was no secret that site had bots. It’s been a thing for awhile. But it’s only gotten worse. I get on once in awhile for one particular niche sub. But I had to stop browsing the rest.
For awhile, subs about pop culture and celebrities started getting to /all, but it’s posts like “What’s you favorite sitcom moment?!” AITA became even more popular, but the stories feel even more fake and formulaic. Before there were times when the top comments were bots commenting on the repost bots post. Now it’s not uncommon for people to point it out. The repost bot posts, the other bot steals the top comments and post those.
It’s also become even more right wing in a lot of places. So depending on your political leanings, that can be a turn off for some.

They used to have traffic stats for each subreddit. Now they don’t. Could be cost saving by dumping a feature that didn’t see massive use, or maybe theres some facts they don’t want getting out…

Either way, the site really has gone downhill.
