Some time the next year Reddit partnered with the Correct the Record (CRT) group, which quickly resulted in a correlation of mass banning subreddits, users, and replacing full moderator lineups in most larger subreddits. The year Reddit completely changed to censorship, disinfo, and China like control of discourse.

CRT was a Hillary Clinton campaign group, which courts later found to have funded millions of dollars into social media troll farms (but not mentioning the less noteworthy in size Reddit in court), along with their other forms of social medial manipulation.
