> Advice and information subreddits have gone to shit because of AI usage. Most of the advice and information subreddits I previously visited collapsed into bad posting even before AI. The few I still follow are oddly fine. The key was always having an active moderator who cared and had unbelievable amounts of time to moderate. Once the subreddit gets past a critical mass of junk-posting users, the good users leave and there's no coming back. | ||

Completely agree. A community lives or dies by its moderators. Once the limit drops past a certain point, the experts just quietly leave. | ||

>The key was always having an active moderator who cared and had unbelievable amounts of time to moderate. Sometimes the mods are the junk posting users. A bunch of the car subs were modded for a long time by some tow truck driver who'd mod them while sitting around waiting for dispatch. Exactly the kind of guy you want refereeing a dispute between some guy who's lived it and a bunch of lube techs who are quoting textbook best practices. | ||
