I wonder how many posts/comments/subreddits on reddit are artificial like this.

Yup I work in software security and I personally know several subreddits that are bought and even more where admins are insiders shilling their own products. Has been the case for years and Reddit doesn't care.
- Well you can’t leave us hanging like that. Which ones?
  
  /r/all
  
  /r/retrohandhelds
  I used to also think Cloudflare owned stake in /r/selfhosting.
- The entire /r/SEO subreddit is just one guy, on three different accounts, trying to sell people on his agency, which is one of the weakest ones out there. Competitors are filtered out.
- Big if true!
- Yup. One of the philosophy subs is obviously doing that. I unsubed.
- yup im a forum that does that, ban evaders are doing this too, the ones that have hordes of accounts.
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, I think I need to give my username up to this guy.
- He will probably think it's something deep in Korean. 😋
5 years ago now I was offered 6,000$ to sell /r/RSPS. That subreddit had like 100 monthly views. Imagine how much bigger subs go for
- I'm guessing it's harder to secretly sell bigger subs though. Though I bet it happens.
Um… Bezos owns AWS, Zuck has nothing on him as far as ‘owning the internet’.
- Bezos does indeed own the Post through a holding company.
  
  I wasn’t saying he didn’t. Just that Meta doesn’t hold a candle to AWS as far as control over the internet.
I wanted to sell my reddit account but then it got a scammer badge lmao. Whatever though. I tried.
- it got a scammer badge
  Why?
  
  From what the mods told me is that I inquired about selling my reddit account so they mark it as a scammer so whoever buys the account won't be able to do much with it
Fake and nonbinary
Which sub could this be?
I wish I could make something to earn $12k.
So where was this posted? It looks like X to me, but I don't use X and never have, so I'm not sure. There are so freaking many platforms, that it would have been nice to include where it was posted.
If it is on reddit, I don't see any subreddit?
Anyways, no matter where it was posted it's moronic. I wonder if it gains anything for anyone?
- These are people talking about gaming reddit on X.
  
  Thanks. 👍
  And: Ah yes X the very reliable non manipulative platform with strict rules of decency, no chance they are the "game" themselves. /s
