No, but thanks for asking. The rabbit hole still goes far further.
Ghostarchive is apparently blocked from The Atlantic, and other archive options aren’t friendly to VPNs, so I’m afraid I can’t provide an archive link.

I see a lot of hate in here and it’s not all unfounded but man there is still something to be said for talking about hot sauce with 200,000 strangers!
I WISH reddit would end. I used to love it for the batshit insane personal stuff people wouldn’t share anywhere else. “I haven’t pooped in a month, AMA”, that kind of dumb voyeuristic crap.
It turns out that’s what everyone else loved too, and it’s profitable to have AIs write it so you can read it on YouTube for ad revenue. And y’all, it’s so stupid.
The most bizarrely specific scenarios pop up again and again, and people eat it up every time. “AITA for not giving my evil infertile sister my baby?” “My parents promised my brother and evil SIL my house without consulting me, AITA?” “My evil MIL was female aka evil, AITA?”
And then you have subreddits like BestOfRedditor updates, which you’d expect to curate these posts so the slop doesn’t come through, but in reality it’s a handful of power users obsessively following and reposting any post with “update” in the title or even just edits with the barest amount of self reflection. Posts have wild plotholes, like a 30yo being divorced for 15 years, and it’s considered “best of” as long as there’s an evil woman/autistic person/trans person, I guess.
But no, this AI shit means it will never end, because it gets numbers, and numbers matter more than anything else.
The internet is growing more hostile to humans… TO READ THIS STORY, SIGN IN OR START A FREE TRIAL.
I’ll give them this: They certainly stayed on brand.
Reddit ended like two years ago.
Yep. Which is when I came here. =)
So you’re the one who ended it. Wow.
You’re gonna need to stay away from 6flags and the Georgia aquarium kthx.
It’s only a matter of time before 6 Flags is just 1000 AIs on rollercoasters.
You might not be that far off. I can’t think of a kid who is interested in going to six flags. A whole school was going to go for the day, for free. Only a handful expressed interest, the rest said no way they are standing in lines, in the sun, to take a 3 minute ride to nowhere.
If I’m going to stand in line in the sun for a three-minute ride, there damn better be some good skiing from the top of the lift.
It alr…oh uh you mean in the future yes that might just be possible sometime in the future yes… :-)You can still pay to watch an AI enjoy the coaster if you stand in line for 2 hours.
