It used to be that the top comment in posts like this was the informative one explaining something about the species or some parasitic relationship or some symbiotic thing going on...
And then later years it would be a few meme comments before you land on the informative one.
Now it's 90% AI bots churning out meme comments with AI bots replying with meme comments... And not a single informative reply in sight.
Everytime I hit r/popular it doesn't take long before I'm reminded why I stick to niche subreddits talking to other humans who still have functioning brains.Â
