Election is coming up, all Russian bots
It's all kinds of bots; Russian, Chinese, Liberal, Conservative, but most of all its Reddits own bots meant to inflate traffic stats ahead of the IPO.
So what you're saying is we should short the stock to make it big
Could even open a lawsuit and force reddit to investigate how much of their traffic is bots, immediately after the IPO
This is not financial advice… typically these things balloon fast, and maybe stay up a week or two before anyone buying is done buying and the price collapses to the point informed investors want in. You can also have people doing price support early (“a squid on the bid”) to avoid a depressing price collapse in the opening phase, but that’s something you have to feel from experience.
Judging by the trending posts, its mostly us liberal bots :).
Mfers still believe in Russiagate despite everything... It's time to accept they're not Russian trolls, your country is just full of fascists.
If I remember correctly the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence quietly released a bipartisan report some years back conforming the existence of Russian trolls in the 2016 election. I haven't seen any evidence or reports released that they have ceased their attempts at manipulating social media since then.
I do agree though, a lot of the posts are just real people who know that hate gets more engagement and crazy people.
They did, but they determined the huge russian disinformation campaign was the work of like 5 accounts and 200k in ad-spend on facebook. In other words a wet fart.
Why can't it be both? Russian social media engineers wouldnt have to try that hard. America's full of a bunch of fascist capitalist warmongers with a majority of liberal sheep for citizens, ready to believe whatever truth they want to be more true than reality.
Perhaps Russia isn't as involved as of late though? Perhaps Putin killed off all his social media engineers sending them to fight in Ukraine? I'm waiting for the reports to come in from field reporters finding Russian boy scout corpses on the battle field. That's when you know he doesn't have the resources to spend trying to influence American elections. He's got bigger problems, like mandating Russian breeding schedules.
It probably has a lot to do with their IPO as well. They want to look like they are doing well ahead of that.
That tired but always working deflection. Let me get a little creative. I'm pretty sure it's underground blind mole rats this time.
theys r comin 4r us, I'm telling ya, mark my wurds. ya'll bein minefukd while yous wer sleepin
How's my russian? did I do it right?
