Reddit is buying 5 star reviews…

What the fuck even are those reviews? They make no sense. I'd say it's AI but even AI could write better than that.

I strongly suspect they don't care about coherency. They care about spending just enough compute on anything that can avoid tripping a spam filter and getting the review deleted. As long as the review is kept and counts towards the score, that's a win from their perspective.

I’d say it’s AI but even AI could write better than that.

Reddit uses AI for everything, they're all-in on it. Even moderation at the admin level is AI. They outsource AEO (Anti-Evil Operations) and speaking as a mod of several million+ user communities the AI is absolute garbage.

I was going to mention this. I was reading reviews and even the ones that make sense are complaining about something yet the score was 5 stars. I think something is broke or this is AI.

There's over 2M reviews, the current ones are not going to move the needle.
