I used to be a heavy reddit lurker years ago

nowadays I just check reddit front page from time to time

some observations 
- I always see screenshots of X posts among the top upvoted
- content is filled with leftist circle jerks
- I don't ever see comments questioning even the obviously fake narratives
- generally very little debates or disagreements in the comments
- I'm noticing chatgpt mannerisms in many comments (e.g. "it's essential to...")

overall a rather sad state of affairs

the smaller niche subreddits however are still great
