The real problem is the search engines which amplify Reddit and by extension the LLMs which depend on search results for their answers. Ideally, it's search that becomes decentralized over the long term, but it's also possible that search engines rely less on Reddit and other centralized forums.

The Reddit thing is pretty scary.  I wonder if SN ever becomes as mainstream as Reddit, whether pay-to-post / free-market bidding of territories would have stopped this abuse.
