Since the changes, this sub may have less "Will AI take all jobz??" type posts and similar, but is now drowning in fake spam of "I built fake/useless XYZ AI-related thing" with no comments, no discussion no real value.

Key Points

  • The author says moderation changes reduced low-quality, speculative AI-job panic posts, but the subreddit is now overwhelmed by fake promotional spam about “useless AI-related things.”
  • They argue the new filtering approach misses the mark by allowing repetitive posts that receive little engagement and add minimal value.
  • The piece expresses concern that the subreddit’s overall usefulness has declined, with fewer interesting news items or substantive discussions.
  • The author suggests there should be a better moderation or filtering strategy to improve post quality on the community.

Basically the title. I do appreciate how the mods are trying... something... but this new filtering paradigm clearly has missed the mark. This sub feels like it has such low value these days, not a lot of interesting news or discussions at all, just a spam sea of those obnoxious kind of promotional techy posts, most of them fake. Surely there is a better way.
