Similar to LLM smells in writing, anyone that blogs about Reddit comments to make broad extrapolations about society or psychology or anything really…I just write it off as slop.

They’re low effort takes from terminally online weirdos. The number of upvotes something gets is meaningless. Using it as some kind of appeal to authority or credibility on a topic is a joke.

Like those SEO slop gaming articles about “controversies” because some anonymous account on Reddit complained that a character got race swapped or something.

This crap gets pulled into Google search results and gets repeated as truth by Gemini when it does a web search.

It’s gross.
