Any time I poke my head into r*ddit, all I see is astroturfing. I don't have an account and never have, nor do I look there regularly. Sometimes it's the only place to find information about movies and whatnot because it's easier to maintain a social media presence than an entire website. So I'll go peek at the horror sub, for example, and there's blatant astroturfing advertising shitty movies and shows. It's not even a large sub.

Some topics are more obvious, others have more artificial influences. But it's bots and shills all the way down.
