Is it just me, or is r/investing is being flooded by LLM-generated content?

Has anyone else noticed that r/investing feels completely different over the past few months?

I’m not trying to start a witch hunt, but the front page lately has a ton of posts read like they were run through the same template. Super polished. Perfect structure. The same cadence. Bullet points. Etc.

What’s concerning isn’t just the writing style. It’s the sheer volume. It feels like every single post on this sub is just slightly different versions of the same AI summary.

The problem isn’t AI existing. Obviously people are going to use tools. The issue is signal-to-noise. Investing discussions are valuable because people bring real experience, niche knowledge, or actual conviction. When the top posts and comments are just synthesized surface-level takes, it crowds that out.

It also makes it harder to gauge what people genuinely believe versus what was generated in 10 seconds.
Maybe I’m overthinking it. But the sub feels less like a discussion forum and more like a bot-driven content farm lately.

Curious what others think. Am I imagining this shift, or are you seeing it too?
