![]() | I'll start off with why I believe this. At first, I didn't think much about how much left sided reddit was. I mean, it's not that weird for a social media platform to turn into an echo chamber. I had suspicions but no actual reasons. Today. While I was moderating a subreddit. I noticed a left wing political comment that had got 500 upvotes. The user who made it had 230k karma. And his account was about 2 months old, Now this is highly suspicious, their whole profile was the same news posted on different subreddits about trump. I then went to another subreddit. It's also a big subreddit with millions on members. I see THE EXACT SAME comment I saw before. Not even a missing dot, but it was made by an entirely different user. Their account was 12 or so years old and they had close to 300k karma. That obviously doesn't make sense right? If you want to say the original commenter had a an Alt account where he posts political posts , then why ? What's stopping them from commenting the same comment them selves. Which now lead me to believe. Both of these people were paid by someone. Or a organization. And everything started to make sense, the overwhelming amount of posts calling for revolution and protest. Or to " eat the rich " . Someone is behind it all, someone wants to shift the public opinion . But who? Who would have enough money to do all this, but at the same time facilitate posts about eating the rich? Shouldn't it be the complete opposite? ( I am not saying actual real people aren't also posting, but this is also a result of them seeing the other posts and getting on the bandwagon ) [link] [comments] |
