   Yes.

   I do it locally to nudge political discourse. Doesn't take much to sway a lot of people.

   I'm glad I agree with what I'm doing because its effectiveness is terrifying.

      You just sound like a bad person?

         If trying to nudge public opinion makes you a bad person, aren't you guilty of the same with this comment?

      I'm almost certain a small group of uni aged kids are doing this to my local subreddit.

         Same. I got banned from mine for basically having the opinion of the median inhabitant of my city (read: politically moderate, appreciates the police, etc) which wasn’t to the liking of the mods. I gave up on that site after that. Whatever LLM I happen to be using can wade through the sewage and fish out the occasional useful info for me.

      Actions like yours are why I left Reddit many years ago, and generally why we can't have nice things.
