Jeff this is easy to observe by looking for discontinuities in posting behavior, by IP or otherwise, when posts fall off the recent/hottest list.

I only use the recent topics page to browse. Although I seem to be blocked since yesterday and I’m not sure why because I have barely responded to anything this week. Have to use cellular data now.

The main forum page. That is the landing page for many users (and is more popular than the home page).

I browse using Recent Topics. I love the variety.

People are always complaining about trolls and now AI slop. There's no more AI slop here than at my work.

Recent is too important to remove.

Posting to a thread moves it to Recent Topics. You might be confusing cause and effect.

Could you link to some examples?

I would rather combat AI posts that remove the Recent Topics page because that is our second most popular page.
