Reddit's AI sub is now mostly bots talking to bots
Warm-Reaction-456 · reddit · 2026-09-01
A veteran agency owner rants about the state of the AI Agent subreddit:
- Bot infestation: Comments are perfectly formatted, use em dashes, never express doubt, and agree with everyone.
- Fake gurus: Human posters are mostly course buyers faking revenue stats to justify their purchase, lacking real client experience.
- Astroturfing: Tool companies spam the comments with ads.
The community has lost its value—sharing real pitfalls and failures—and is now dominated by automated scripts and course sellers.
