I’m pretty sure it is an alternate reality, fueled mostly by bot interaction. If you look at the comment history on a post, much of the time it appears to be flocks of bots posting “Very Insightful”, and often identically duplicated comments.

I can only figure that there’s a lot of fake accounts trying to score remote jobs from North Korea or something.
