    does it matter?

    The quality is so low, of submission, discourse, and people.

    I can take only a few minutes of scrolling through naively instructive subcomments "fun fact, water is actually wet", or needless authority seeking "as an AuDHD can confirm", the prepending of "super" to everything "this is super not good", it's like reading pure cliche, adding bots in can only improve it, ideally by precipitating it's demise.

    "let's call it...accelerationism"
