I’d say everyone got on the internet, and it turned into the equivalent of your local bar for discussions

Then LLM bots got on and it turned into an email spam folder.

That predates LLMs, but I get your point.

But besides bots, there's also "low value" comments, the "who's listening in 2026" type comments. Undiscernable from a bot, adds no value, can be omitted and you wouldn't miss anything.

And the worst part is that LLMs can generate more interesting comments than a large chunk of online people can.
