Am I the only one who feels like we’re getting surrounded on Reddit and social medias by entities who are employing astroturfing, bot farming, shilling, sock puppetry, botnets and other forms of digital social engineering or opinion manipulation?

There’s an increasing lack of… natural human touch in too many of the most widely engaged posts (and a vast majority of their reply segments) on almost every single popular subreddit similar to this one I follow and it doesn’t just stop here. It’s on all Meta apps, Twitter/X, Tiktok, YouTube and even on online forum discussion boards. It’s sickening.
