Please believe me. Jow Forums has been completely overtaken by bots. It happened about a week ago. Suddenly there was a weird resurgence of 2012 style ironic shitposting that was *almost* like posts you normally see but not quite.
I can't explain it but something about the posts haven't felt quite right. There's been extreme hostility, low effort posting, and posters with weird "patterns" to their posting on several boards (hard to explain but they'll repeat certain phrases and sentence structures over and over again).
Tell me I'm not crazy and other people are seeing this. Things got really weird recently.
