these subreddits are/were absolutely full to the brim with bots/adversarial actors. it's obvious after spending any time on them. the incentive to manipulate is just too high, and the ease with which to do it is too low
- Ographer 3y agoExactly. Right now on the subreddit there is a post about how a guy plans to invest 2% of his net worth into bitcoin and most of the comments are mocking him for not investing 90-100%. There is no such thing as skepticism or critical analysis on these subreddits. Obviously these commenters are already holders and have incentive to convince more people to buy. Like you said, I'm sure there are plenty of bots active in pushing their narrative with no consequences or accountability. Whether crypto is useful or not, the market manipulation and ponzi-scheme recruiting tactics are too sleazy for me to invest seriously.
