Feels low.
Maybe Reddit needs a paid verified seal, let's make it...umm.. blue to distinguish between real people and big corporate greed. /s
I thought it must be way more.
When I stopped over there, it looked like reddit is running some sort of suggestion algorithm like youtube for posts. It mostly seems to be promoting right wing outrage bait. We might not have videos but I'm very happy not being subjected to that shit anymore from some of the more popular video/gif subs. It's strange they'd want to lean into it further. Baiting engagement that way will just degrade your ability to host interesting conversations and continue being the top result for many questions on google.
Reddit sucks!
Oof... This makes the dystopian, highly censored, antithetical Star Trek subreddit make more sense...
That's all? woulda guessed higher
I always thought there were corporate trolls on there just not so many
No need to read the article, and check my comment history if you doubt it..
I want to add that this is only part of it. The secret "secret" arent the bots in the system coming from the outside. Its how the content is manipulated from the inside.
The entire modern Marvel and Starwars franchises owe themselves to reddit.
