"if we want Trump to win this war we need to take the fight to Reddit" is a pretty incredible line

And I assume a decent "Nigerian prince" style filter

Genius, how has no one thought of that before? After all, that’s how presidents are elected, by comment upvotes on a Jordan Peterson Meme Subreddit

Surely that has to be a grift by an upvote farm owner to drive sales

I haven't been on Reddit in years; did they change the rules? Vote manipulation, or encouraging it, is still an account ban offense, right?

That's how it's supposed to be, but anyone actually aware of how Reddit does things knows that they're actually laughably bad at enforcing their rules. They only do it to look good and convince normies that it's hard and that they'll get caught (I don't know why, seems like preaching to the choir, since normies aren't interested in this shit but whatever).

yeah but for that the corporate dogs that enforce those rules have to feel like enforcing the rules
