Time for Reddit, Inc. to explain this to investors, since they are certainly aware of how significant the bot activity is on the site and are allowing it to fake engagement numbers. Seems like someone should report it to the FTC.

An FTC staffed by Trump's stooges won't do anything about it. The only people who might care are advertisers whose clicks are suddenly down. They're going to realize that they're spending a ton of money on targeting people who can't actually buy their products.

That lore isn't true. It used to be that mods could add any other Redditor as a mod to subreddits without their permission/consent. So ViolentAcrez added spez as a mod of that sub who quickly removed himself.
