I don't know if Reddit was always like this but all /r/ subreddits feel extremely astroturfed. /r/liverpoolfc for example feels like it is run by the teams PR division. There are a handful of criticcal posts sprinkled in so redditors can continue to delude themselves into believing they are free thinking individuals.

Also this superintelligent thing was doing well on some fifth grade level tests according to Reuter's anonymous source which got OpenAI geniuses worried about AI apocalypse.

    The Liverpool club subreddit is just delusional. Many saw the 22/23 season decline coming, saw that the players were declining beforehand, but it all got dismissed and downvoted because results were good at the time.

    Everything is extremely astroturfed and fake on Reddit, there are lots of companies making good money from running influence operations on Reddit these days. There was a massive uptick in it when Lemmy became popular almost as if anyone with any real substance left the platform entirely.

    In 2013, Reddit admins did an oopsy-whoopsy and accidentally revealed that the Eglin Air Force Base was the #1 most reddit-addicted "city" (Eglin is often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs). They deleted the post, but not before archive.org caught it.
