    More bot content, spam and paid agenda posting from what I can see in /r/all or how ever the aggregation of all instances is called

      Do you have an example of paid agenda posting? I haven’t noticed anything that would suggest that. I’ve noticed agenda posting but it’s most likely purely passion.

        While not going to go digging for any, it seems a tad naive to assume that there will not be any unnatural/paid posting on a platform this open and easy access. You should practice good information hygiene either way.

          I’m not assuming there is 0 I’m saying I don’t think it’s a huge issue here and would like to see an example of what they consider paid posting.

          On reddit for example I would see astroturfing on the front page almost every day.

            Personally the recent sharp and sudden increase in Tankies is likely a symptom or an expression of it. While that could be a knock on effect from astro turfing elsewhere, see my last comment lol
