Perhaps I should pay to astroturff my very good opinions
Not what moneys for, will error out. Try with your bad opinions and hope the good ones can be organically derived.
Come to think of it; Pushing turbo-racist shit on Reddit is itself propaganda. There are definitely bot farms pushing at least some of these posts to convince bazinga white men they gotta get more racist.
But if they dont get more racist, how will they tolerate working in the Nazi factory?
There are likely no more than 1 million commenters on Reddit. 5 years ago, main subs had around 500,000 unique commenters at max, with small minorities of that making up most of that group. Excuse the slate star codex sub link, but someone put it better than I: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/9rvroo/most_of_what_you_read_on_the_internet_is_written/ (possible cw for ableism)
Do not use social media as a litmus test as power users make most content.

It does give a lot of insight into how people in Washington think
is there a plugin to detect bots? would be feasible and awesome
