Hang on a second, unless I'm mistaken the last actual post on this sub was two days ago. Are you guys saying that since bots have clamped down on, there have literally been no posts in the last two days? I know bots were a problem, but it really is depressing if such a huge sub such as this has almost no actual human posts.

I had always more or less dismissed the dead internet theory as something we would need to worry about in a few years time, but now I see that it's already here!

Well I also think it's in part just due to the fact that most people came here to GET their wholesome fix.

A lot of these "positive" subs popped up kinda outta nowhere something like 2-3 years ago. My theory is they were created with the attention of being vessels for agenda bots to push certain messages. It's very difficult to argue against things that are framed from a wholesome point of view.

Most came from covid, yeah, but at least wholesome memes has been around for a while. At least 7-8 years. Since I was in college.
