About a year ago a reddittor analyzed posts on the conservative sub.

The only day the two most active users in Conservative didn't post was November 1st, which happened to be the day of a power outage in Moscow that was the result of a Ukranian drone attack.

Nearly every day, two users on r/Conservative account for more than 30% of new posts. Sometimes exceeding 50%. (6 charts) : r/visualization

To anyone wondering what Reddit's response to this investigation was, they took away the tool he used to collect the data to make sure people can't do it again in the future.

Complete ass hats. Manipulating the narrative just like Musk... albeit maybe not as maliciously.

I'm a couple decades too old for him to be interested.
