Very true. It's interesting how Reddit has maintained a relatively high trust within most people though. It's also worth noting that while this is happening, there aren't many other places that most people go to where the site is mainly text-based and there is a higher level of trust that I know of. Personally, I'd trust Reddit over a random blog from a Google search, but that isn't a high bar.

All of that being said, I think this will be a much bigger problem with misinformation generally on all of the internet as AI gets better, especially considering the election later this year.

Maybe the PR companies moved up a level in the meta-game - Don't talk up your product, talk up Reddit itself, _then_ go on Reddit to talk up your product.

It's not even that "meta": they would just be dogfooding. I would be surprised if this wasn't the case.

They're getting smarter for sure, maybe some shadow marketing going on with the IPO too lol
