The people bringing actual content there have mostly left from what I can tell, now it's almost all reposts.

Unfortunately that seems to be enough to sustain a platform nowadays.

The bot accounts are becoming the most active

Reminds me of the dead internet theory. What if all that's left on Reddit is bots posting? New content could be asking AI to generate a "cute puppy picture" and post in on r/aww, and that could all be done by a bot.

They are so easy to spot that I'm convinced they are deployed by reddit themselves.

Unfortunately they can still copy content from other platforms. The comments will probably devolve, but investors hardly care about that.

"Average words per comment" would probably be a good metric for the quality of discussion on the platform.
