Some Italian kid did a Reddit Speedrun and broke the entire site.
It's so unbelievably easy to manipulate Reddit.
Highlights:
- All the "elite redditor" subreddits (like r/CenturyClub) were just 30 year olds making 90s references
- He farmed Trump hate for easy upvotes
- He joined a discord server called "Redditors United" where prolific redditors with millions of karma turned out to be 16 year old Indians
- The most upvoted Redditor of all time is a p*rn addicted guy who has been posting n*ked anime girls on reddit for the past 9 years
- He got 250k karma for posting an image of Zelensky with a caption
- He learned python and built a bot to automate his mass posting
- He ultimately got banned for "content manipulation" after several years of getting away with it.
