Why is the CIA still fucking with my (once enjoyable) lefty subs?

Of course r*ddit is trash, rhetorical questions are rhetorical.

    I agree it's a vague amorphous blob of an accusation. But just to play devils advocate - how much work needs to be put into manipulating sites to get users following trends initially vs how much of that work creates it's own self sustaining lie, therefore not needing nearly as much effort to keep it going as it took to get it started?

        You're right, on further reflection I wasn't making distinction but rather just agreeing with you and restating the point. The CIA does the initial work of starting the trend, and then it gets snowballed by the userbase. So technically no, the CIA isn't doing everything in that sense.
