Toast message
* the fucking founder wrote it in his book... they've been using fake submissions and fake user comments for well over a decade, specifically because people want to be on a site that has people, not a fucking ghost town.
* when they admitted years ago that they had specific employees whose primary task was to get celebrities and other notable people in for AMAs, if you didn't already know, you were officially fucking retarded if you still didn't know.
* they have generative AI manufacturing posts with entire trees of 200+ comments. this has been outed many times before. in the early stages, they'd regularly just repost the same thing that was posted months before, but all under different usernames so it wouldn't be so obvious when people clicked through.
* they regularly manufacture fake outrage inducing posts just to bait engagement. sometimes it's larpers, sometimes it's reddit themselves, sometimes it's farmers. a lot of the powermods work in traffic shaping, social media influence, and intentionally post innocuous shit regularly so when they drop their paid posts, it doesn't look so obvious.
