I forgot about that guy.

Funny how he was shadow banned/outright banned for vote manipulation and you look at Reddit today and it's flooded with bots doing the same shit.

For real, it's weird how this all happens. He was just one guy using alts to agree with himself and manipulate votes. Now there are bot farms doing that while going unpunished.

It was a more innocent time haha.

I wonder how many hostile powers use bots and farmed users to sway messaging?

Unidan's sin looks so innocent in retrospect...

They make the news periodically. Tends to be Russia and China making the news, but a lot of countries will be doing it.

I suspect it's a lot like the spying thing where most have something going on. Though Russia is the main one who makes the disruption of others a matter of national policy.
