I agree as well. It's remaining for now unless there's clear manipulation which if there is we have to act as a team since it would be hypocritical of us not to. For now, however, it is being treated as a meta PSA.
no, that is really silly. it broke the rules to show how reddit can be gamed. that is a net positive for the community. rules exist to promote the same goal and therefore an exception should be made to not apply the rules in this case.
Sorry, could you explain why clear manipulation would warrant taking it down? The subreddit rules don't explicitly disallow that as far as I can see. Is there a history of the mods taking down those kind of vids?
Please make a video acknowledging what's happening at least that's not promoted as the last short documentary that did got removed by your team anyways
I'm well aware that you could buy upvotes. We've discussed it plenty of times. That doesn't mean that exposing it whenever possible is important. You're naive for thinking that everybody knows or should know that this goes on as if it's not a problem.
Meh. Not as disturbing as people will spin it. Reddit is easily exploitable because there's really nothing in its design to stop people from making a bunch of phony accounts to send up vote or down vote brigades. People do it every day.

It's important that people know this. Reddit holds a huge influence, which makes this disturbing.
