In r/SaaS and others, long time members complain that AI generated content and shill posts are overwhelming useful discussion, with suspicion that people spam to influence LLM training data and recommendations.
I'd say in the last year at least every other post on here is AI slop with the intent of either generating leads (shill posting) or just spouting outright lies
I've had to block most of the saas, sideproject, etc subs. They are almost entirely self promotion spam and AI responses.
My gut feeling is that this is because people know reddit trains LLMs and maybe if they mention their app enough in reddit data LLMs will start recommending their app.

Even like 6 months to a year ago Reddit was a much better place. Idk what happened it feels like yelling into a void
It is filled with AI slop, gotta agree with that. But there are still some beneficial post, gotta search it.
