Reddit has huge moderation and organized shill issues. It's not uncommon to open up a contentious thread and see an ocean of [deleted] posts that were heavily upvoted. Some of the power mods are, in my opinion, working for or are owned by advertising/PR/political agencies. Some power mods regularly violate their own subreddit rules to post hyper-partisan news (/r/worldnews for example explicitly forbids internal US news and politics but its mods regularly post such material).
