How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

    On Reddit my username was 4672656542656572

    I would get called a bot all the time. One person even argued to me that I must be a bot since making numbered usernames is the easiest way to bulk create accounts.

    My reply? My username is hexadecimal for FreeBeer. Who doesn’t like free beer? 😅

        It was but all my friends on Reddit couldn’t tag me when they wanted me to check out a thread. One person actually wrote it down so they could just copy and paste it 😅
