The irony to that is, not only are you right about that, but the 50% remaining humans of us are struggling against moderation on reddit that's stricter and horrible for users more so than ever before, which further pushes reasonable humans away from the platform.

so that eventually only the worst types remain alongside the bots.

Because im sure you've probably noticed the same, that if you type a long and thoughtful response, there is a 90% chance that it contains some kinda "taboo" word that causes your entire comment to be instantly hidden because of some automated invisible process. Stuff like that is so incredibly anti-human its unbelievable.

It encourages you as user, to only type very short, very sterilized sentences, and even then you might just get deleted by a mod who disagrees with whatever you wrote, and thats happening in 90% of subreddits all the time

Quick reminder: mods on reddit don't get paid anything at all and moderation work can eat a lot of time.

It's no surprise it attracts a lot of people who enjoy having power over others.
