A rising tide lifts all ships, or however that saying goes. And a ship with a hole in its hull will sink to the bottom of the ocean. So don't sweat the surge of low-effort projects...
Your hobby is not going away. In fact, it's totally popping off right now. This is the perfect opportunity for you to distinguish yourself and lead by a positive example (whether that includes using AI tools responsibly, or not at all, is up to you). Just keep on hacking the good hack.
“Congratulations, your small hobby subreddit has been chosen as a default subreddit! Prepare to reap the rewards of 1000x the amount of:
- traffic.
- low efforts posts.
- users who won’t read or respect the rules and culture.
But the point here is that the rules and culture as they were no longer matter. They were there to ensure a level of quality that is now reached by an individual with a 200$ Claude subscription, so they should be discarded and the community will have to converge on some kind of new normal.
