  You gotta remember that Reddit started out with fake UGC. It was very possible to do 20 years ago there just wasn’t so much breathless talk about it.

    Yes but that was to trick people into thinking it was popular and hopping on the bandwagon. This is talking about using this synthetic data for research.

      "Trick" maybe but I think every successful social platform has a body buried somewhere. The two-sided market problem is just that tough.
