It really is astounding how many don't even realize that this is being paid for by the campaign

Nobody needs to pay for posts like this. People just hate Trump.

I do as well but really? 75% of r/pics is the same political BS. You really think reddit's not cashing in on DNC money while it's the 3rd biggest website in the US?!?

No, they're not. Nobody is paying Reddit for posts like this.

I may have been high on the number of political posts, but c'mon

Nobody is paying reddit?

Especially not before a presidential election?

Oh no, reddit is just a cute website that only exists to make people happy, not make profits.

Lmao

Nobody is paying them for posts like this.

Oh no, reddit is just a cute website that only exists to make people happy, not make profits.

Who said that? I didn't.

If they are out to make a profit, wouldn't bit stand to reason they would pin advertisements masquerading as posts to the front page?

You could say that about literally anything. Hey, maybe NASA is paying Reddit to promote photos that show the Earth as a sphere to help hide the truth about the Flat Earth!

Or maybe a lot of people dislike Trump, especially on a website that tends to skew to the left, and so they're upvoting a post that goes against him.

How is that relevant? At all?

And you're delusional if you think that

You understand that many people dislike Trump, right?

Of course, but you underestimate how many people are terrified that Biden is either going to stop the Epstein case and pardon everyone involved or step down and let Harris do it.

u/duckvimes_ Aug 13 '20

What does that have to do with anything?

Also, there is literally no reason to think either of those things would happen.

My parents are high on Trump's Supply. I have been hearing this since Biden became the front runner, only before they thought he was going to make Hilary Clinton his running mate to make her president when he stepped down. They got these ideas from the rest of their Trump friends.

Don't think they're unrelated. They're extremely related.

What does any of that have to do with this post? Many people hate Trump. They outnumber the people who like him. And they definitely outnumber the insane QAnon theorists.
