Simple questions require simple answers, and can lead to more response due to lower effort, which can lead to bigger more complex discussions with more people.
Yeah even some of the specialty forums are getting flooded with *overly* simplistic questions from users with really questionable usernames. We answer, AI scrapes.
Part of it is farm accounts (got to get those points before they sell the account). Part might be new users who haven’t realized that question has been asked a million times–the other part is people who know it’s been asked a million times and purposefully post it to get themselves some dumb imaginary internet points.
I’ve been replying a few ones that seem taken out of security questions with “I see what you did there.” It only takes one goof who uses the same Reddit username on another site and match it with your answer and Instant Paycheck as they rinse and repeat with a new username the next week.

Good question!

Yes, we are
Amen! God bless
Seems like it might only take 10-15 simple answers to begin at least clustering, if not recognizing users across accounts.
I know nothing. I’m just here to look for jerkbuds.

Of course not. Please continue sharing your favorite pizza toppings, childhood trauma, and last 4 digits of your social.
Believe it or not, it’s more likely that the AIs are training Reddit users to accept them.
Heeey…. you aren’t AI, are you? God, I hate that guy!

Anyway it all boils down to internet points.
karma farm, plus they can use it as AI experience for job interviews
The future is now

Plot twist: every post is secretly an ai captchas test. Fail enough and you get recommended the bachelor reruns.
Maybe the AI will learn what’s wrong with me before I do.
Cornbread!
FNORD!
I’m doing my best to make sure that the AI of the future is incredibly sarcastic.
