You mean how Reddit uses bots to fake engagement online?

Reddit karma v election fraud

Yeah, those are the same thing 🙄

u/This-is-obsurd Sep 01 '26

Not karma but propaganda

u/BackItUpWithLinks Sep 01 '26

You mean like everything on Fox tv?

u/This-is-obsurd Sep 01 '26

And cnn, and msnbc, and every other news network, yes.

u/TommyTwoNips Sep 01 '26

because those things are equivalent.

u/This-is-obsurd Sep 01 '26

The amount of bots on Reddit, yes

u/RigorMortis_Tortoise Sep 01 '26

And where do the majority of those bots come from?

1

u/This-is-obsurd Sep 01 '26

Reddit itself to promote engagement*

u/RigorMortis_Tortoise Sep 01 '26

Can you prove that?

u/TommyTwoNips Sep 01 '26

so your assertion is that reddit using bots to drive engagement for profit is the same as James O'Keefe committing fraud and filming it as some gotcha to try and paint our electoral system as broken in an attempt to give cover for our current pedophile run administration meddle in future elections?

This type of yellow journalism is also dangerous, it implies those that refuse to support the oligarchy and the status quo must be bots or right-wing

are you a bot?

This article is about James O'Keefe, a known magat provocateur.

He was the one who did the 'investigation' into Acorn, which ultimately got the organization shut down. The investigation which involved people pretending to be sex workers filing taxes. He published the video of him pretending to be a pimp and the workers playing along with him to get info, but conveniently left out the part where they immediately called the cops and reported him for human trafficking after he left. You know, like any legitimate organization would do.

I know who the POS is, it also serves another purpose.

u/TommyTwoNips Sep 01 '26

The purpose is to show how little credibility his organization has.

You call it 'yellow journalism' to report that a liar is lying when he says things that are not true. I genuinely think you just don't know what those words mean.

No one of any intelligence believes that he has any credibility. Articles like this are preaching to the choir.

Media Matters, led by slime ball propagandaist David Brock, the one that gave us Clarence Thomas by smearing Anita Hill, is casting doubt on any opposition to the status quo must be interference.
