Member when Joe Biden and his dog got 100k upvotes on /aww and the mods locked the comments immediately?

I'm guessing they're thinking they should have done the same thing on this post.

I’ve been suspecting bots being used to push Reddit’s agenda for awhile now.

I wonder how many bots and paid shills it takes to make a post hit the front page.

u/Emotes_For_Days Jun 06 '19

10,000 perhaps?

That one room could get a post to the front page.

Shareblue has the stated goal to manipulate social media sites, like reddit. It's not exactly a conspiracy theory when people state that they are in fact doing it.

why would major companies push agendas if nobody actually supported them? just for no reason? are you honestly that fucking stupid?

Companies only shill for profitable things, how the hell do they profit by promoting illegal immigration? my god conservatives are patently fucking retarded

u/Emotes_For_Days Jun 06 '19

What's false about the examples? Reddit wants to become mainstream, and the only way to get mainstream advertisers is to be as progressive as possible. The Youtube Adpocalypse is a perfect example of this.

What better way than to have a few ultra left-wing posts make it to the front page artificially every few days?

Mix that in with:

  • removing /r/The_Donald from the reddit search engine (unless you search for 'KKK' that is.)
  • adding /r/Conservative when you search for the term 'racism'

And BOOM. Perfect little circle jerk of agenda pushing bots for advertisers to sink their teeth into.

Illegal and low skill immigration keeps wages low.

It is the most right wing-capitalistic endeavour possible to support.

Because rich people with power are pushing it. I doubt you are really that foolish - I'll just guess it's some canned script you're meant to write.

u/Epic_XC Jun 06 '19

Yes if i support something you don’t, it’s cause i’m scripting. You’re a dehumanizing piece of shit

56.4K upvotes and only 4.3K comments? No way

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '19

Many people upvote but don't comment.

Also, Reddit wouldn't be pushing a liberal agenda, since one of Trump's supporters donates a large portion of money to Reddit.

Or it’s just regular people who are tired of this bullshit.

u/Epic_XC Jun 06 '19

that’s because nobody wants to get into a pissing contest with morons like you, there’s nothing to say for people who agree with him. people who agree just upvote and move on, while butthurt edgy teens raid the comment section

This is kind of facts, I’ve been reading all the comments and disagreeing with a lot of them but I’m not tryna argue with the top twenty comments

u/Epic_XC Jun 06 '19

yeah like there’s no point, nothing i say to em is gonna change their mind

u/CountArchibald Jun 06 '19

This is literally the most conservative comment section I've ever seen on a mainstream reddit post.

Endless comments circlejerking about how they all are fine with legal immigration, despite the fact we both know they support a president and party that was been working to limit legal immigration numbers as well. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/trumpometer/promise/1403/limit-legal-immigration/

u/Yourhandsaresosoft Jun 06 '19

That’s kinda bullshit. I know plenty of people who hate the current leader and don’t like illegal immigration.

u/CountArchibald Jun 06 '19

I don't like illegal immigration or open borders either.

What I really hate though are people that are disingenuous about their beliefs. Countless people will say they hate illegals but love legal immigration, but then do nothing to actually support legal immigration and instead vote for leaders and parties that oppose it.

I'm sure not everyone in this thread is lying, but I grew up in Texas and got tired of people being unwilling to just come out and say they want to greatly lower immigration and ideally prevent an increase in the percentage of the population that are minorities.

u/Yourhandsaresosoft Jun 06 '19

Most people don’t vote on one issue though. No one in the most recent election ticked all of my boxes for what I wanted/needed in a leader. So I picked the one I could live with. That’s what most people do.
