    Bots have been doing this on Reddit forever, it’s a lot more noticeable now that most of the good users who generated content have left.

      I remember when I first started noticing bots bad was in 2016. They have been there for a while now. It’s advertisers turn now though. It’s at the end stages

      Have you seen /r/worldnews the first 10 page of comments are all hardcore Israel supporters.

      It’s kind of jarring because they’re not really in the rest of the site.

      The information warfare units only seem to care about the frontpage so they really stand out. Especially how ham fisted they are about it.

        I got a huge strike, which eventually led to me being account banned from Reddit (seven year account, 600k karma) for calling out Israel for the pogrom against the Palestine people. Reddit is really trash now, most of the reference questions are 2+ years old.

        It’s in a necrotic state of rot right now.
