I remember once I signed up to one of those things where you rank / select AI responses to various questions (i forget what it’s called it was basically a scam anyway). The last question was something specific about a world of warcraft item or something. I’ve never played the game so I googled it and clicked on the first Reddit answer.
Someone had asked the exact question being asked to me and the top response was something like "do the damn (aiRankingThing) yourself. And then there were loads of botted responses giving intentionally false answers etc.
Kind of realised then how easy it is to create complete lies on places like Reddit.
Also upvotes / downvotes are very easy and cheap to buy. You can change the sentiment of an entire thread for $10.
