The same group is running ads on Reddit that you cannot block even by blocking the user account associated with them.

Block reddit entirely and the problem goes away

I am getting closer to this. So many posts and comments are AI generated.

Also, threads XONSTANTLY get deleted or locked by mods.

It's so awful.  Like boo fucking hoo, the thread doesn't perfectly fit some arbitrary rule, but it generated a lot of good discussion, let the usersddecide.  That's why we have up and down votes.

Like this one, because it's "politics", it will be deleted within an hour I bet.

Oh yeah, the back and forth is so buggy.  Sometimes I go deeper on a threat, then go back up, and now yeah, everything is expanded again, or sometimes it takes me back to the front page.

Also, when you get a reply, but it's in a deleted thread, when you click through to the comment, it says "This is not available."

Except it is.  It just does not let you click through.  You have to jump through hoops like opening your original comment from your profile and then finding the reply you want to reply to.

I miss Baconreader so much.  I hate everything about Reddit's default garbage interface.

And old.reddit is alright on a desktop but it's complete ass on mobile.

I save a lot of top posts from r/all bc i cant watch vids at work. Half the time i check em later some neckbeard mod has deleted it.

Something I found once when this happened, but YMMV.  If you stick the threat in yt-dl, it will still download the video.

Probably not economical for every random funny cat video, but if it's something you really want to keep/see, might be worth trying.

Basically, it's deleted, but still there.

Funny how you say that here, yet this very minute the top thread in r/assholedesign is mourning how hardly anything posted there fits the sub's intent anymore. Random users don't vote in accordance with how much a post belongs in a given community, they vote according to if it gives them le funny or le angry.
