Ah yeah so you've seen it all, that's awesome. I wasn't around when usenet was in its prime (on account of being roughly -2 years old).

Its a reference to Usenet back in 1993, its essentially when an online community has to deal with a never ending influx of new users. So think of this as Reddit before it got big/mainstream.

For sure, I also can’t believe reddit has much intrinsic value when it’s botted/astroturfed to oblivion… I think that tech savvy investors are aware of these issues and may just end up shorting the stock. No matter what someone’s making money off of this.

Yeah I agree, this is basically how my friends and I approached Warzone. I don't know if Fortnite lets you hear enemy comms on death but hearing peoples reactions to your shenanigans was always fun.

Yeah that's basically it. Bots had overtaken Reddit too and just propagated that problem by re-posting posts/top comments.
