I used to notice that criticizing Amazon on Reddit was a way to quickly get a ton of downvotes, as if an active party was trying to stamp out negativity. I heard about an active social media team that stamps out negativity. Not sure if it’s true, but I can’t rule it out either.

- pclmulqdq 4y agoReddit is pretty much controlled by PR company bots. It's not surprising that they sometimes overdo it.
- prox 4y agoYou have by any chance any resources on how they operate and research into this?

- prox 4y agoThanks for the article, so I actually searched “reputation management” and there is actually a subreddit for this, active till two years ago. Crazy really that this can happen.
- mancerayder 4y agoWow! How is this legal. It feels like manipulation and fraud.
