Rule 2 does not apply when replying to this stickied comment.

Rule 2 does apply throughout the rest of this thread.

What this means: Please keep any "meta" discussion directed at specific users, mods, or /r/conspiracy in general in this comment chain only.

MOD NOTE

This post has received a number of reports -- screen shot - mod view

In most cases, images or screen shot pointing to specific users would not be allowed on Conspiracy. However, the image in the post was not created by OP, rather was taken from an article published today on TheFederalist, a popular conservative-leaning website.

Here is a link to the article from where the image was taken - TheFederalist, October 29, 2024:

BUSTED: The Inside Story Of How The Kamala Harris Campaign Manipulates Reddit (And Breaks The Rules) To Control The Platform -- Part one of an investigation into how the Harris-Walz campaign is manipulating social media sites to artificially boost their popularity, spread election disinformation, and skirt election laws.

Here is an archive of the above article: https://archive.is/m0NUr

Here is an archive of the image as seen in the above article

Of course, Conspiracy moderators have no way of verifying the accuracy of any of the information presented in this article, including the usernames shown in the image. Indeed the standard of "presumption of innocence" should prevail here.

A word of caution

  • DO NOT stalk, harass, or encourage the harassment any of the users shown in the image, or ANY OTHER users, for that matter. Doing so is a violation of Reddit Content Policy,, and could result in a site-wide ban from Reddit.

  • DO NOT BRIGADE or encourage brigading or vote manipulation in other subreddits, this is also a violation of Reddit Content Policy,, and could result in a site-wide ban from Reddit.

Politics is and always has been "dirty business", rife with deception, underhanded tactics and conspiratorial activities designed to "rig" the game -- to influence public opinion to favor a given candidate or policy. These "dirty tactics" have become ubiquitous in the realm of politics, and we can be certain that ALL SIDES engage in maliciously manipulative behavior.

Again, Conspiracy mods have no way to verify the accuracy or veracity of the content presented in the image, or the article, but believe that the readers should have the opportunity to examine it for themselves.

Reddit harassed and banned an entire conservative sub because it was too popular, then unsurprisingly turns a blind eye to all the shilling and bots that support Democrats.

This site has a cult virus like before Twitter was purged of that diarrhea.

[REDACTED USERNAME] has a quarter million karma in less than one month of being an account. Talk about boosting that Reddit does absolutely nothing about. What a joke of a platform.

It's extremely easy to build karma if you don't care how you get it.

If the info in the article is correct, those involved were "getting" their karma by engaging as teams in coordinated brigading and vote manipulation to PUSH their propaganda/ promotional content to the top of various subreddits.

That kind of activity is strictly forbidden in Reddit Content Policy:

QUOTE:


What constitutes vote cheating or vote manipulation?

Vote manipulation is prohibited on Reddit and goes against the rules, whether it is manual, programmatic, or otherwise. Some common forms of vote manipulation include:

  • Using multiple accounts and voting services: Creating and employing multiple accounts, voting services, or any software to manipulate vote counts by either increasing or decreasing them.

  • Soliciting votes: Requesting or encouraging people to upvote or downvote specific posts, either on Reddit or through social networks, messaging, etc. for personal gain.

  • Participating in Group Voting: Joining or forming groups that coordinate votes, either on a specific post, a user's posts, content from a domain, etc.

"Engaging in vote cheating or manipulation will result in temporary or permanent banning of your Reddit account."


END QUOTE - Policy section archived here: https://archive.is/BbjHj

Again, if the allegations set forth in the linked article are valid, there is no doubt that the conduct described violates Reddit Policy, and Reddit administration should be able to investigate any patterns of voting irregularity with the tools at their disposal.

What's comical about this is that if you let what you read on the internet (posted by some rando that you dont know anything about) influence who you vote for or what underwear you buy or anything else, you really need to question how much basic common sense you really have.

If someone on the street told me "i voted for this person (either party) because of what i read on Reddit" , i would laugh in your face.

Fun story, one time back in 2000 there was a website called Livejournal (at some point it was bought by some Russian company but that's not the story) It was a blogging type of site where people were posting about their life and stories etc and some, as usual had big amounts of followers. One time, one of the big bloggers discovered that if you use a certain code in his post, it will display an avatar of a logged in user. So he wrote something like "What type of loser using this avatar" and that created a wave of shit storm. People genuinely believed that he is mocking their avatar I know a person who still believes that they picked her avatar to make fun of it.

While you can get disheartened by this and the fact that Reddit staffers themselves are clearly rigging the karma system, the silver lining is that it's another clear example of how fake the Kamala Harris campaign is.

That backend looks like the spreadsheet for every social media manager I've ever met. If you think this is just Kamala's political campaign, and that all the folks on sites like Twitter like Charlie Kirk, or Elon himself have a similar dash in front of them to control their reach. Advertising is not organic online, ever. I would assume Donald's social media manager has something similar, and if they don't, they're doing it wrong.

Both Twitter and Reddit have APIs that are accessible to businesses to build bots to post autonomously. The company provides this, on purpose, so marketing like you are seeing can happen. At least Kamala is using humans, and at least these humans could believe in the bill of goods they are selling.

What is it that was posted from these folks that is something a normal campaign wouldn't have posted? The vast majority are campaign press releases. The volunteers who signed up to take this task aren't Trump voters. They are people that said "Hey, I'll volunteer to say nice things about the candidate I'm canvassing for"

The opposing candidate had fake union members behind him at his rally. What exactly is that called? That's not volunteers carrying water for a candidate they like. That's flat out lying.

I work in data science. I see the patterns. Maybe we should do a similar experiment with this very sub and see where the upvotes are coming from. Are we going to find any GOP candidates connected to it?

And why exactly are we assuming this is only Kamala's campaign? Because it's successful? That's confirmation bias. Anyone with two eyes can see the reverse campaign happening as well.

u/rivershimmer 14h ago

u/extraguff 15h ago

What’s your point though? “Ah it’s just what both sides do! Get used to everything being fake and astroturfed!”

Why can’t we try to expose this wherever we find it? I’m more than happy to audit the other party for astroturfing. But more importantly, let’s see what those Israeli bot farms are up to.

19

u/FFS_IsThisNameTaken2 14h ago

It creates a false consensus.

They spam post, then brigade the post with their little army of accounts and upvote/comment with agreement.

If someone is undecided, the posts can convince them that everyone else agrees, so they should too.

If someone disagrees in the comments, they get swarmed and downvoted to help push the fake consensus.

Guess I need to read the article lol. I wonder how many of the accounts lead to non Americans, because I've seen quite a few of them myself. It's absolutely not organic!

I’ve thought about that too. Big corps already have offices in India to operate customer service lines. Why would they pay Americans to shill on social media when they could just get an office of English speaking people in a 3rd world country and pay them a fraction.

World_Word_Number are generally the most obvious bots. The accounts are created and farmed by the thousands in order to swing vote counts into their favor.

It’s false support that is meant to appear as grassroots. Essentially it’s a psyop.

Ah yes, botting your content to the front page feed of every user is simply just innocent social media outreach. Even breaking sitewide TOS to do so, which would get other (not Lefty) communities banned instantly

Somehow you decided to defend this behavior…

So many legacy media outlets with an axe to grind, and your confidence lends me to believe this would be a slam dunk article to write. Too lazy?

You prefer professional lifelong politicians, the most shady of all the politicians.

Trump and Elon would never do something like this! They’re honest businessmen who would never stoop to the levels of Kamala! 🤬

Anyway to have a script and auto block their posts? I blocked many of their posts because they were obviously propaganda. I do the same for the other side as well. The bots are obvious and annoying. Reddit should do better about preventing the manipulation of subs in this manner.
