The only reason reddit was valuable was because it was from real people who weren't paid off. Well that's ruined now.

Yeah, I've noticed that a bit lately anyways. Maybe I'm looking up stuff that has less of a community on Reddit, and thus has less discussion, but I have absolutely noticed some comments have a single product name-drop with little clarity for why they liked the product. It starts to feel like they're just ads (generated or otherwise) meant to trick you into thinking Reddit users are liking the product.

AI is going to just make it worse, and cause Reddit to not be a good goto for actual reviews and discussion on pros/cons.

Exactly. Usually there's a conversation or a quick consensus on one or two things. But I've been seeing lots of single answers or just ads
