It seems like only a couple dozen subs get traffic anymore. So many formerly popular and active subs are basically dead.

And it's all cross posted shit. Reddit has shrunk significantly since the nuking of 3rd party APIs. It's all basically r/pics and lame creative writing rage bait r/amitheasshole and its clones

Am I right in thinking a lot of ‘amitheasshole’ stories seem fake? There’s always some bullshit sounding story that’s upvoted close to the top or reddit.

Not just mad. People who call out shitposts get banned, no matter how obvious the bait is. It’s frustrating.
