Reddit

There absolutely no way this isn't an ad for upvote buying services lol this is so insane and transparent and the worst part is it'll work

"It is unambiguous clear that our message is toxic and the majority of people reject our ideology and us with it. Therefore, the most logical solution is to create an artificial narrative via manipulation and vote-buying that makes it appear that people like us." -these people probably

Why do I have a feeling this person has a vested financial interest in one of those upvote buying farms.

buying a bunch of upvotes on a website dominated by bot accounts is a very cost effective way to run an AstroTurf campaign

This is the equivalent of not being able to get your crush to like you, so you pay hooker just to tell people you got a girlfriend.

Hey, remember what happened to Digg? Why a bunch of people moved over to Reddit in the first place?

I guess not a lot of people remember, so let me tell you.

Bunch of dipshits ran upvote brigades. Stories they didn't like got buried really fast.

Now, Digg was a hive mind site to begin with - good luck posting anything the hive mind didn't care about. But add blatant political machinations on top of that, and the site got unusable real fast.

Take a few guesses which political views those groups were trying to futilely promote while quashing opponents. Go on. (I'll give a hint, some of them retreated to Conservapedia)

So that's what killed Digg. ...that, and the Digg admins were being dicks and the site redesign sucked ass. (...insert comparison to modern Reddit here)

Probably a scam, but congrats on discovering the Russian disinformation strategy from 2016.

So, putting aside the questionable morals of this person. I'm not sure alt right reddit threads are the election swing spot they seem to think.

“Our opinions are wildly unpopular to the point where even if a bunch of us showed up we’d struggle to make a difference so we’re gunna need to buy upvotes!”

Like…c’mon.

I'm sure that they don't have an economic agreement with that fake up votes website

That's pretty much US politics summed up, isn't it? Ignore what they people say and throw money into it to get what you want.

This is what they do in real life too though. They know the US is mostly liberal (based on the popular vote) so they have to abuse money and historical power to manipulate the votes into their favor.

Subvert the will and desires of the majority using money and shitty practices....how very GOP of them.

Gasp, you all surely don't believe that conservatives would ever engage in voter manipulation tactics... r-r-right!?

"How dare the left accuse us of fascism, they're the fascists! Now c'mon everyone, let's conspire to fake vote totals so we can assert authority we didn't earn."

Is that "Truth Social"😂?

Everyone with a Reddit account, let's sell upvotes to conservatives on Jordan_Peterson_Memes. It's income redistribution with zero impact.

Reddit was taken over by the right wing a long time ago. This person is out of the loop

They'd fit right at home on r/Asmongold. That place has become a KotakuInAction offshoot in recent months. So much right wing, anti-woke and anti-trans content gets posted there that I'm surprised the admins haven't quarantined or banned it.

cause everyone knows if conservative replies get upvoted enough people who hate Trump will have a sudden change of heart. Is this guy in the upvote for money business or what?

I'm not terribly against stealing money from maga dumb idiots with too much money.

Why would posting pro-Trump messaging on conservative friendly subs increase his chances of winning? Nobody who votes who spends any amount of time in those subs wasn't going to vote for Trump. Also, buying upvotes? Pathetique!

I remember, back in 2016, when the /r/The_Donald website just used a bunch of bots and other fake accounts to juice their content to the front page week after week.

And then the Mods tweaked the algorithm so you wouldn't have a wall of Trump memes on the front page every day. /r/The_Donald folks spilled into other sites and started repeating the strategy, so Mods had to tweak the algorithm again. And there was this back and forth that dragged all the way into the general election, at which point the Admins finally decided to ban the sub. But they also had to ban a slew of leftist subs, to make things fair.

And now we have Hexbear, a site composed of purged Reddit-fuges. But Reddit is still full of Trumpies, for some curious reason.

Remember guys "no brigading" is only a reddit-wide rule and does not apply to brigade efforts that originate from outside of reddit. Also, koboldcpp is great for self-hosted text generation ai. I don't know who needs to read this so go crazy with that information.

Brb gonna sell some upvotes and not actually do anything lol

Counter argument: Reddit is predominately American. These upvote sites use low cost foreign slave labor to generate their output. Buying upvotes is outsourcing jobs. Keep Reddit American. Don't buy upvotes!

Does anyone else feel like setting up a scam site that claims to sell upvotes, and donates all the profit to the Harris/Walz campaign?

You're telling me I could be getting paid for this shit?
