i wanted to believe the idea because its so on-brand for reddit, but u/maxwellhill wasnt just a powermod, they were one of the top ten reddit posters
think about redditors, and then think about how incredibly, unbelievably online you would have to be in order to be in the top ten most online redditors
spending a bunch of time on reddit? sure. spending that much time on reddit? to me that just doesnt fit
Historically speaking mods used to get more upvotes than everyone else just by being mods. That has dropped off over many changes to the site but in the past you would literally just get upvote bombed for every single distinguished post.
i did a quick google and found this, the vast majority of that karma seems to be in the last few years (which i guess is also when reddit removed the ~5k cap on karma per post?)
and just skimming through the stuff that they posted, its indistinguishable from any other r/politics loser except by volume, so if its her i have to wonder why she would bother?
Almost all of it is link karma. From posts. Throws away my point about getting upvoted for who you are. But link farming is not that difficult if you know what to post and how to title things.
my key question is really why she would do it? like that would make her the most link-postingest r/politics nerd out of all the r/politics nerds during the years of trump when they were all frothing at the mouth. thats an incredible level of dedication to the most pedestrian liberalism
i get being a powermod and maybe quietly deleting some of the posts about her and epstein (still feels like a stretch to me tbh), and maybe being a powermod you need to still post a bit to maintain the facade, but why so much? and why such incredibly generic libshit? and looking through the comments as well, how does an elite socialite who spends all her time hanging out with (and blackmailing) the ruling class manage to write like the most clueless lib to ever cluelessly lib?
Tons of it could have been outsourced. Give a few people account access and some direction and you can post as much as you want. Maybe she put in a few hours each day/did enough drive by posting to keep a reasonably unified tone. Then when shit hits the fan and she dips out the shady-but-less-protected posting team gets out of dodge. Maybe they just stopped getting paid.
Alternately, she was a terminally-online adult who could get away with it because she had no real job and/or her job was to be a quiet influencer of a pedophile-infested website.
Reddit started out as a link aggregate site, people share news they don't write the articles. Of course it morphed from there but the bread and butter still is linking. Go post in politics or news or any big reddit sub and your post will be removed. If you can control who posts, then it would be easier for your posts to get upvoted, plus bot accounts are thing.
I mean, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that she had an employee that she told to handle her reddit account, or had hired some overseas company to manage it. Besides, other than pimping and abusing minors what else was she actually doing?

deleted by creator
If someone posted about her and Epstein's operations then I guess she could remove it or drown it out before it went viral.
