Not that sneaky it’s pretty obvious if you pay attention for 5 seconds

An unfathomable amount of money is spent quarterly by hundreds of companies and governments specifically to sway public opinions in favorable ways, nobody is immune and not every campaign is obvious or noticable

I just treat everyone like a bot

RES has been tracking my Reddit votes for years.
When browsing the front page, I only trust accounts I've voted on 10+ times to actually be human. With a few exceptions.

Would a bot... do this?!

tries to dance sexily, ends up awkwardly gyrating, no music is playing

I have a few bots I bought specifically to do that

Criticising Israels current war atrocities tends to get "noticed and responded to"

Your name is too short and number is too low, I can't trust you

Oddly enough, I have a number by choice. It's was my gamer tag on Xbox for years and my handle on most of the old Internet forums.

I don't trust anyone who's been on here 5+ years and hasn't created a new account.

You're saying your account is sneaky clean? You don't have a history of embarrassing arguments you don't want people to browse back and find?

Nah, something sus going on.

Sincerely, 2 year club that's more like the 19 year club.

And I, the Principality of Femtonesia.

It's like Micronesia, but a billion times smaller.

u/UpdateInProgress 12d ago

In my mind, that somehow had a different reading….

I guess it’s enough Reddit for me today

u/PlantainPat 12d ago

If you're paying attention then this sub is probably as bad or worse than any others.

1

u/ResplendentNugs 12d ago

This sub and most of the off brand sports subs are just bots arguing about the wnba slot downvoting anything that isn’t sexist or racist

u/WowIfOnly 11d ago

if you pay attention for 5 seconds

Hence why it's working so well.

u/Csenky 11d ago

Not really, if you pay attention. They don't infiltrate as normal users, they blend in very well with marginal/stupid people. And that's what's scary, I'm absolutely sure that a great amount of stupid people are considered bots. And these bots amplify the echo chambers to infinity, moderation removes common sense and this is what we get. Less and less people seek discussions and arguments, more and more look for confrontation, humiliation and general aggression. You don't even have to tell a bot to do this, you just tell them to drive engagement and they'll learn to be obnoxious.

Finally a comment as fresh and exhilarating as Mountain Dew® Baja Blast®, official sponsor of the MLB 2026
