I actually suspected that this was part of all this.
Real humans with lots of karma, some of it perhaps built up from before they started fucking with karma? Who might say something other than what the paid sponsors want?
I think this is an intentional move to try and get rid of anyone with any authenticity who isn’t a bot or a shill.
It’s just my little conspiracy. People with accounts like my old one would be very undesirable (lots of karma, ancient account age, not a capitalist stooge.)
Does having an old account really get you any respect on reddit though? I feel like at least as often there’s some disdain for your having wasted so much time there.
I didn’t really mean it to imply that you get respect, so much as it’s more obvious that you’re a real, authentic person. People will give more weight to someone they know is a real person, versus a bot. Or a shill.
Maybe? They could do that anyway. It seems like drama to lure people back to me. The whole thing was written like an advertising in a warped way. Like those ads that make it to the front page that are slightly making fun of their product, but are ultimately advertising.
