Reddit's value proposition (to shareholders) is astroturfing, for ads and other propaganda. Send us your message and we will make it look organic and popular. That's the service. There's no other way to make boatloads of money from an open, heavily-manipulated forum.
Funny how you hit the name on the head and still getting down-voted. Today I deleted my reddit account and sent a request to get my HN account removed as well.
Moved to lemmy and not looking back.
