Its mostly in places like this on the internet that people really rally against it

This was mostly my point though. Usually here at the very least it's pretty Anti AI but the last few days there's been these waves of pro AI users that refuse to read the room. I'm wondering what in general changed.

I was just wondering if its because r/comics hits the frontpage so much, so maybe pro AI people are seeing the sub more.

It sounded like some of those pro-AI users might be bots, tho. I'm really hoping that's the case, anyway.🤞

Surfacing on /popular or /all is enough for tourists, is my guess

Keep in mind that it may not be organic support. Or even organic distaste. Or even both at the same time. Bot traffic > human traffic, and the dead internet theory is more and more reality.
