Very high likelihood of a bad actor doing this. Reddit is already drowning, there is zero chance of this changing the narrative in places where it matters (media).
- Havoc 3y agoThat was my first thought too. However as someone pointed out above though senior Reddit management has a history of creating fake accounts, plus there was that incident of using database access to alter someone’s comment so this seems right up their alley in terms of ethics
- skilled 3y agoIt doesn’t matter what someone said or not. It makes no sense to do stupid one-word reviews that can trigger an app review if people report that an app is generating fake reviews, which is likely the intention by the bad actor.
- Havoc 3y ago>It makes no sense to do stupid one-word reviews that can trigger an app review Inclined to agree, but they're on a roll with the erratic behaviour lately so "makes no sense" doesn't hold a lot of weight here The false flag angle you suggested certainly seems like a possibility to me, but I don't think there is enough here to dismiss the possibility that it is not either.
