I dunno if it’s my algorithm, the poor quality posts meaning less interaction or just I’m not there often enough to tell. Anyone else noticed anything?

It doesn’t help that very obscure things trigger shadowbans, and unlike suspensions basically nobody looks at appeals for those. Reddit support is virtually impossible to reach now.
Couple that with people getting auto-suspended by the Reddit AI bot for quoting movies and new accounts requiring 100+ karma to participate on 95% of subs, old users are being pushed out while new users are being pushed away.
The only people who would bother farming karma now are those who have financial incentives to do so. A lot of the low effort content you see are karma farming bots doing things like splitting old videos and uploading them in pieces to maximize how much karma they can get via multiple posts.
