Right wingers encouraging others to buy upvotes and downvotes on Reddit to push right-wing politics and suppress their opposition.
Genius, how has no one thought of that before? After all, that’s how presidents are elected, by comment upvotes on a Jordan Peterson Meme Subreddit
“if we want Trump to win this war we need to take the fight to Reddit” is a pretty incredible line
And I assume a decent “Nigerian prince” style filter
I haven’t been on Reddit in years; did they change the rules? Vote manipulation, or encouraging it, is still an account ban offense, right?
That’s how it’s supposed to be, but anyone actually aware of how Reddit does things knows that they’re actually laughably bad at enforcing their rules. They only do it to look good and convince normies that it’s hard and that they’ll get caught (I don’t know why, seems like preaching to the choir, since normies aren’t interested in this shit but whatever).
If Reddit catches it
It’s very hard for them to do so, they’ll usually do it for people with multiple accounts in the same browser doing it, but they don’t bother with any of the bigger methods. Doesn’t make them look as good and powerful to normies.
And nazis get a pass bc they drive engagement, so it’s all good for pigboy huffman. Or at least until the media sees it
Surely that has to be a grift by an upvote farm owner to drive sales
Hell, I’m setting up a vote buying site right now to capitalize on the sentiment. Course I have exactly 0 reddit bots, but hey I can just tell the conservatives that the gay librul mafia has been buying votes too to cancel them out, right?
We have a damn good business model here folks. All we need to do is sandbox the idiots so that they pay to see what they want to see and only they see it.
