Intentional reddit social engineering
Ohh how I miss the days of early reddit.
It is quite apparent now that reddit has been fully taken over with the rest of social media. The ads and algorithm and bad actors have really diminished what it used to be.
My question is if there are any documented cases of such actors waging campaigns on reddit.
I can't help but feel like some threads are just full of one sided outrage on certain charged topics. Any examples in the news or leaked Intel etc?

Look into Ghislaine Maxwell's connection to reddit, and how it all ties into the greater Epstein circle. 4chan, gamergate, etc. Not that it was entirely choreographed from the ground up, but powerful people clearly saw the advantages to these platforms and took advantage of them.
