they're not amateurs

reddit mods are paid by outside companies and interest groups to specifically get access to places so they can control narratives

non-associated mods get offers from companies and interest groups for them to be in their favor

other, more nefarious mods have their own botfarms that they use to control narratives in their own massively popular subreddit because the police don't arrest themselves

media corporations, companies with specific interests, and intelligence agencies have all learned to play this game, reddit should have put the spots up for auction
