Yeah, it's so weird. Like I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this happen to a political sub, but this? Just wild.
Every sub is astroturfed. The few times I've tried browsing reddit and gone to niche subs, there's fucking astroturfing. Horror sub? Astroturfing positive reviews for movies universally panned. Painting sub? People buy bots to boost their content to the top, which of course there's a link for commissions. And coincidentally the people asking for the links for commissions use the exact same message as another poster in another thread for a different artist.
So much of that site is ads disguised as user comments. Completely unusable.
