Never said I wanted more Reddit. I did enjoy the Photography, my state specific and so on. I started off on the Conservative sub but quickly learned I was not extreme enough for them. I tried Politics as well and realized it you have anything even slightly right of center your butt was voted down. So I bailed on them and tried to still with the more fun pages but even some of them got pretty bad. And I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to paid posters. I found this Forum in hopes it would be one worth perusing. In some cases it has been. In others I found one of the Reddit Misogynist clowns who hate all women. My guess there is no perfect forum. For me that is.

Well, now you know. And if you ever deny or are ignorant to "paid posters" in the future, we'll know you're just another astroturf. If you blindly side with mainstream fake news without doing an investigation into both sides of the story, we'll know you're just another astroturf.

However, papers leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden indicate that US and British intelligence agencies have been deeply engaged in planning ways to covertly use social media for purposes of propaganda and deception.
