You know what amigo? Since it’s you, I’ll compile a list of political posts on this sub for the past 4 days that weren’t blatant astroturfing. Enjoy these posts that I didn’t comment on!

But yes I obviously think every political post is a plant, and don’t dig any deeper. /s

I really don’t. All I do is check their post history and if they’re posting with patterns like OP’s, it’s pretty obvious that it isn’t organic. There are plenty of political posts on here where the posters are actually from PA just by looking at their post history, and I’m cool with that, and don’t say anything. But hey if you want to keep the blinders on, that’s fine. Critical thinking isn’t for everyone.

Oh yeah, it’s astroturfing time 😎

Note: I hate Doctor Oz, but fuck these accounts that are created solely to push politically divisive content out in an attempt to influence elections.

Karma farming is bad. Some people build karma farming accounts to later sell after a substantial amount of karma has been accrued. These accounts are sold to advertisement/marketing companies, because these accounts allow them to post in popular subreddits that usually have a karma cap. Once sold, these accounts are blatantly used for advertisement, sometimes not even marked as such.
