      I always thought a scary amount of undetected “guerilla marketing” was invading Reddit. And I’m convinced bots were ginning up conversation in the comment sections of those Reddit posts. And bots were downvoting me when I cried manipulation. And all those voices I always hear were very against me.

      And here I thought I was crazy.

        Same, some of it was pretty obvious. Also a ton of bots spreading propaganda.

        Oh look here’s Friendly_Box3916 with a 2 month old account and a hot take on a political issue.

      It was posted on lemmy that an account used chatcbt. It posted one of the “I can’t write that” things, along with things clearly written by AI.

        Yeah reddit corporate was working hard to shut down and discredit the protests. I had a bare minimum of three comments deleted. No notice or explanation, I just happened to realize they were suddenly gone.
