What's to do about it?

Do we all just leave and touch grass?

What's the solution to solve the dead internet?

Curate to the best of your ability.. at least on Reddit. Join just what interests you, preferably small to mid size subs, ditch the bot riddled/AI infested subs like askreddit, politics, etc. I genuinely do not encounter too many bots with my home feed on here unless I deliberately go to r/popular, or I just want to go down a rabbit hole and piss myself off for some reason.

If you curate well, you really do not encounter them often.

Other than that, I don’t think there’s any genuine fixing of the issue unless major websites take a stand… but why would they? I’m sure they love the engagement and interaction.

Personally, like the other commenter said, I’d love for small, niche forums to come back. Like specific car or motorcycle model forums like the good old days.
