MODERATORS
Can someone please explain it to me, I don't get it :(
The right is the original post, with a selection of comments from 10 months ago. The left is a repost of the same image 5 hours ago with a bunch of bots reposting the same comments from 10 months ago.
That is so weird!!! What's the point, does it increase revenue for reddit or something because engagement?
Astroturfing or advertising. They can generate a bunch of medium to high karma accounts with genuine looking post history, then sign a deal with an advertising firm or lobby group to make posts on their behalf. They'll steal a bunch of posts like OP's then start posting stuff like "Biden is actually the most progressive president" and fill the comment section with some propaganda. This site sells a range of services.
