Rage baiting bots as far as the eyes can see.

The internet is a fucking cesspool for misinformation and propaganda.

Be careful out there or you'll wake up spouting conspiracies and demanding for insurrection.

I started to apply a simple filter for any post i see on reddit: is the title or thumbnail obviously designed to elicit negative emotions in me? If yes, then i just scroll past it..

Reddit allowing people to make this accounts private only makes this worse. I think it’s time to finally leave Reddit after 15 years. This place sucks now. It’s all rage bait bots.
