It absolutely does. I used to be a hardcore reddit user but once you start frequenting a few subreddits closely and you start to notice that a few mods basically control the entire platform and that those same mods usually have alt accounts that they allow to dominate the subreddits they control. I have a feeling most of the mods are taking deals to pay for favorable coverage etc. I was once banned for saying I didn't like a Marvel movie in /r/movies. THEN any of the truly hot button political issues like GMOs, glyphosate, COVID, Israel/Gaza... you'd see these 24/7 permanently online users replying to literally hundreds of comments per day with massive detailed rebuttals. You start to see how certain narratives are maintained and protected and essentially operationalized into 24/7 content factories. Now, that I see that and am aware it's hard for me to enjoy Reddit. Now I just see it as a massive psyop.
