I've had this exact experience a few times now on Reddit where I see a viral video and people point out that it's AI, and I don't always realize it right away. It's just not worth consuming content anymore that I don't feel confident about the provenance of.

So much of the front page was ragebait before AI, but ragebait that could be AI-generated is a hard nope for me.

I deleted my Reddit account when they killed 3rd party apps. I have no social media except Reddit and HN. My excuse for keeping Reddit was that the content was good, if you just curated your subs.

After killing it, and never going back to that site since, I can tell you that it gets your blood pressure up. Before chatbots, most popular content, even in the better subreddits were, essentially, ragebait.

Do your blood pressure a favor and stop going to reddit. HN is okay because it's slower paced and, typically, ragebait is discouraged here.

		Just visiting a single site doesn't make much of a society for humans. Even before AI was faking everything social media manipulation was doing a great job of breaking people apart. It filled them with rage bait until you had to cut them out of your life. Even what we called traditional media is mostly just garbage these days otherwise its almost completely unprofitable. I don't know where this leads in the end. The attackers still have a lot of options as society disintegrates.
