Eh, I should clarify.

That’s more of an inference on my part, judging from how often I come across threads that have a ton of the comments scrubbed to nonsense and/or deleted. It’s more noticeable when you have an extremely particular error or config issue that you’re digging around for. Used to be that you could just dump a part of the error message into google, append site:reddit.com, and usually get a pretty precise answer to your problem. Nowadays, its way harder to find, because much of the really good historical stuff got scrubbed (and, by extension, the users providing those answers are gone), and recent content is much more polluted with LLM-generated crap, which I simply do not trust for stuff like this.
