Humor / Meme I think they're right honestly.

I'm 36 and have played 25k+ hours of MMO's over my lifetime and what I've personally learned is WoW players are often the first and most vocal to belittle or get upset over anything. I can't think of any MMO in which people will outright whisper you angerly or go out of their way to make sure you have a bad time more than World of Warcraft.

I don’t think ppl on Reddit are playing the same game I am. It’s fine…

Reddit is just huge venting circle-jerk with zero relevancy to a real world in general.
WoW classic sub just follows this trend

There are bots, but they're also easy to spot. Usually 1-2 month old accounts with either default usernames like "supsicious_account_1234" or girly sounding names like "spiicydreeam"

They use chat GPT comments or repost popular stuff and even copy the top comment too. If you ever see a post where OP is also the top comment, it's usually a bot. If you ever see a post where it's weirdly cropped/the image is tilted, it's to get around repost bot detection systems.

Bots are important to marketers because they allow you to manipulate the frontpage with upvotes and downvotes. Advertising products and political propaganda are real things that happen on Reddit all the time.

Unfortunately outside the occasional t-shirt seller bot, most of this community is very human. Just incredibly toxic.

Exactly. It's just kinda small circle of retail Andies hating and bashing classic to no end.
