don't check /r/conspiracy too often these days, but I'm surprised I've never seen any threads calling for more AMAs and round tables, they really represented a golden era of the sub.

That's because everyone worth a damn who participates in that sub in those days either got banned or gave up on it.

We all know it is flooded with bots, but also idiots who treat reddit like twitter (as reddit has worked hard to promote) and think a sentence or two, or a link to some random moron on YouTube talking rather than just writing or linking an article is a quality post.

Digging deeper, a large part of posts are data-mining, either by government or government-linked "academics" monitoring, tracking and trying to remove any actually damaging information ( "What are some good sites to deep dive on conspiracies?" type posts) and, in my opinion, lots of lazy youtube wannabes asking for others to do the work for them and then posting a stupid video about it month later.

Also, I know for a fact that r/conspiracy is "sharded" and different users are put into some number of different mirrors and will only see posts from certain people but never others.
