So if reddit is more left than you are, it's "manufactured controlled opposition which is designed to look crazier than unchecked capitalism", and I guess if it's less left than you are, then they're a bunch of DINOs (LINOs?) like Manchin or Sinema?

Definitely not a monolith, though basic liberal types (who virtue signal as being more "left" than they really are) might be the most common user. Siloed groups are the easiest to monetize to advertisers, and they're also not a threat to a faux democracy.
