Taking the fight to Reddit... FOR MONEY.

There absolutely no way this isn't an ad for upvote buying services lol this is so insane and transparent and the worst part is it'll work

"It is unambiguous clear that our message is toxic and the majority of people reject our ideology and us with it. Therefore, the most logical solution is to create an artificial narrative via manipulation and vote-buying that makes it appear that people like us." -these people probably

“Our opinions are wildly unpopular to the point where even if a bunch of us showed up we’d struggle to make a difference so we’re gunna need to buy upvotes!”

Like…c’mon.

Why do I have a feeling this person has a vested financial interest in one of those upvote buying farms.

This is what they do in real life too though. They know the US is mostly liberal (based on the popular vote) so they have to abuse money and historical power to manipulate the votes into their favor.

Gasp, you all surely don't believe that conservatives would ever engage in voter manipulation tactics... r-r-right!?

Probably a scam, but congrats on discovering the Russian disinformation strategy from 2016.

Hey, remember what happened to Digg? Why a bunch of people moved over to Reddit in the first place?

I guess not a lot of people remember, so let me tell you.

Bunch of dipshits ran upvote brigades. Stories they didn't like got buried really fast.

Now, Digg was a hive mind site to begin with - good luck posting anything the hive mind didn't care about. But add blatant political machinations on top of that, and the site got unusable real fast.

Take a few guesses which political views those groups were trying to futilely promote while quashing opponents. Go on. (I'll give a hint, some of them retreated to Conservapedia)

So that's what killed Digg. ...that, and the Digg admins were being dicks and the site redesign sucked ass. (...insert comparison to modern Reddit here)

That's pretty much US politics summed up, isn't it? Ignore what they people say and throw money into it to get what you want.

Everyone with a Reddit account, let's sell upvotes to conservatives on Jordan_Peterson_Memes. It's income redistribution with zero impact.

Subvert the will and desires of the majority using money and shitty practices....how very GOP of them.

Counter argument: Reddit is predominately American. These upvote sites use low cost foreign slave labor to generate their output. Buying upvotes is outsourcing jobs. Keep Reddit American. Don't buy upvotes!

Brb gonna sell some upvotes and not actually do anything lol

Is that "Truth Social"😂?

They'd fit right at home on r/Asmongold. That place has become a KotakuInAction offshoot in recent months. So much right wing, anti-woke and anti-trans content gets posted there that I'm surprised the admins haven't quarantined or banned it.

I'm sure that they don't have an economic agreement with that fake up votes website

Reddit was taken over by the right wing a long time ago. This person is out of the loop

You're telling me I could be getting paid for this shit?

buying a bunch of upvotes on a website dominated by bot accounts is a very cost effective way to run an AstroTurf campaign

Does anyone else feel like setting up a scam site that claims to sell upvotes, and donates all the profit to the Harris/Walz campaign?

cause everyone knows if conservative replies get upvoted enough people who hate Trump will have a sudden change of heart. Is this guy in the upvote for money business or what?

I remember, back in 2016, when the /r/The_Donald website just used a bunch of bots and other fake accounts to juice their content to the front page week after week.

And then the Mods tweaked the algorithm so you wouldn't have a wall of Trump memes on the front page every day. /r/The_Donald folks spilled into other sites and started repeating the strategy, so Mods had to tweak the algorithm again. And there was this back and forth that dragged all the way into the general election, at which point the Admins finally decided to ban the sub. But they also had to ban a slew of leftist subs, to make things fair.

And now we have Hexbear, a site composed of purged Reddit-fuges. But Reddit is still full of Trumpies, for some curious reason.

This is the equivalent of not being able to get your crush to like you, so you pay hooker just to tell people you got a girlfriend.

Does they encourage people to buy upvotes in friendly subreddits? Either they are not friendly or them buying internet points is even more useless than I thought.

"We're victims!!! 😭😭😭"

So, putting aside the questionable morals of this person. I'm not sure alt right reddit threads are the election swing spot they seem to think.

Isn't that what got the crow guy perma-ip-banned?

Eww far right social media filled with racism,anti sentiment,islamphobia etc etc

Reddit culture (and lemmy by extension) changed so much in a short time. Just a few years ago you weren't downvoted just because someone disagreed with your opinion. The polarization and culture war turned reddit users completely dogmatic and as immune to arguments or facts as magats.

The same is true of lemmy. Most users prefer to defederate from socialist instances because "tankies". Which really shows how right wing "limbrols" have become. They hate socialists with a different viewpoint on US empire more than they hate fascists. The fascists have succeeded in utterly destroying reddit and lemmy as a platform for useful political discourse.

We now have the vast majority of "liberals" on lemmy upvoting comments using racist slang terms for Russians to dehumanize them, just like they did for enemies in Japan, Vietnam or Korea. The fascists have made massive inroads.

The OP meme almost seems quaint to me now. The real culture war is elsewhere now.

its definitely not election interference guys, trust me, it's definitely not election interference.

Just more conservatives casually admitting that they can't win anything without rigging the vote.

Busing in those upvotes again?

Lol. What’s truth social stock worth today? 12 cents and a bucket of chicken wing bones?

I would have been so confused if I was still on reddit. Back then, downvotes were proof you were right and you triggered the woke hive, and upvotes meant you said obvious information, woke opinion or funny not offensive jokes. No upvotes/downvotes meant you said something either really thoughtfull or really boring.

Fuckin reddit out of all places too

I cringe every time I see someone like this say “to oblivion.”

Really? Is that really necessary? Why so consistently specific?

This is just sad. How will this not get people sick and tired of it?

There's no way buying upvotes is illegal right?

This might be the funniest thing I’ve seen today.

People have gotten sick and tired of r/pics having loads of political content, and while some candidates are better than others, many people are sick and tired of seeing "orange man bad" yet again. The people who were supposed to be propaganda targets immediately knew this was propaganda and the rampant election posts didn't make Harris more popular. If this plan is enacted, people will see the astroturfing straightaway, and more people will see Trump supporters as bothersome cultists than as freedom fighters. It doesn't help that, if pro-Trump people can brigade the sub, so can anti-Trump people, and the whole debacle will just get shut down.
