Just now? Lol

All of the internet is a psyop, though.

Editing to add:

I think it's good to point out tactics that they're using as some don't realize how manipulation is done. Just, it's been obvious to many that reddit has been compromised for years now. When Pao took over, things sharply declined. Many said that it was Ohanian that made some of the decisions during that time that upset the community. I think that no matter who was leading reddit, things were going to change.

The DS can't have that many regular people talking to each other without controls in place. I think that as time progresses the extent of how all sites are infested with a combination of shills, bots, monitors will become more apparent as they push to limit our communications. It's something that we do need to be aware of and pondering on a solution for.

You're right.

Just, reddit has been controlled for a long time so seemed like one of those super obvious posts like a limited hangout would do to where they act like they're giving info, while really it's nothing new and has been known for awhile.

Edited my comment anyways.
