WARNING: This sub is being attacked

Stealth Downvoting bots. That is all.
I believe reddit is bought down under maintenence today so it can install a system that downvotes all new posts in dissendent subs, or to make bots that downvote threads in those subs. In other words, this maintenance manipulates the system into downvoting all new posts in dissendent subs by themselves, or introduces bots into dissendent sites that get around user checks to do so. Since this site does not allow new users to post, the maintenance might be used in order to activate these bots.
Now all i need is concrete proof.
Other subs might be attacked so be warned.

Filter by new rather than top rated then make your own judgement on the post.

new posts wont make trending if they are devoted upon submission
n/a PillagePeople 2017-04-28
Alright, I blew this off at first but now what I'm seeing is odd. Most posts sitting around 55% or less (which is fine if their shit posts) but some are of these are just legit posts about studies we should be informed about.
Shareblue have an end of month downvote quota?
n/a RikaMX 2017-04-28
This should be on top, everyone's laughing at the guy but something weird is definitely happening.

On 4/26 I think Reddit went down a total of 3 times. I know it went down at least once but for me it messed up 3 times. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this.
n/a Demty 2017-04-28
Unfortunately this doesn't really bother me. I could care less what I say that gets down voted. If this is an attempt to get people to stop posting here it is just going to fail miserably to the hardcore conspiracy reddit people.

n/a blette 2017-04-28
Here is how to fight stealth downvoting. Go to your settings for Reddit. Look at your comments setting. Look for:
don't show me comments with a score less than [ ] (leave blank to show all comments)
If you have a number in the box erase it. Then, no matter how low comments gets downvoted, you will still see them all.
n/a FineFlowingTableSalt 2017-04-28
Doesn't reddit go on maintenance fairly regularly?

No not really.
n/a particle409 2017-04-28
Yeah it does, like a couple times a year...
n/a SoCo_cpp 2017-04-28
Yes, once or twice a year, usually as a surprise.
n/a particle409 2017-04-28
How could they make it not a surprise? It seems to be late at night US time, when traffic is low. I doubt it's worth it to really devote resources to try telling people it's going down for a few hours a year.

n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
Don't be a moron. There are plenty of stupid ass posts with no proof but there are also plenty of well structured posts that have a lot of proof and evidence to back them up.
For example, Pizza/PedoGate. If you spend some time actually looking through sources, evidence and doing some of your own research you can see there is mountains of evidence that point towards it. No concrete proof like "x is a pedo here is a pic of it" but A LOT of evidence pointing towards it.

Yea the guy who had an IMDB page and shot a single bullet through a wall into a computer hard drive yea?
According to reports he shot a single bullet or he shot multiple shots. Pretty easy to know if you heard 1 or multiple shots.
I mean obviously you will blow off the facts as silly because mainstream newspapers said some dumb shit.

n/a ABrilliantDisaster 2017-04-28
that's not an accurate quote and you know it.
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
I could give an equal amount of proof that (pick any group/agency) is actually doing (pick any illegal/shady activity).
Are the Cincinnati Reds actually running an exotic animal smuggling ring? Are the Girl Scouts of America really running a mind-control scheme? You can make up anything and then go find some bullshit that "proves" it.
Both of those are equally true as Pizzagate.
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
I don't think either of those have evidence which involves official leaked emails that were used in a court case that are linked to Hilary Clinton do they?
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
Actually when you look at the list of code words that an autistic teenager made up and posted on 4chan, you'll see that they are both true actually.
For example, when you're looking at the Reds
Shortstop=illegally poached panda ERA=shipment of stolen animals Starting pitcher=elephant meat
These things came from 4chan, so obviously they are true and not made up. The rabbit hole goes much, much deeper.
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
Official emails from people linked to Hilary Clinton? Official CIA documents informing of what symbols these people use?
No you are attempting to debunk a very well structured theory with valid pieces of evidence and a strange amount of coincidences that all seem to add up with some bullshit theory you read and want to compare the two
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
The same anonymous teenager who started 4chan with his (totally not made up) code words has also posted code words proving that the Cincinnati Reds are running an exotic animal smuggling operation. You can see this in the official documents from the Reds and Major League Baseball (which is covering for the Reds, obviously).
You can be an anti-exotic animal shill all you want, but this theory is just as real and just as founded as Pizzagate. They come from the same source, what more do you want?
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
Where's the official CIA/FBI document validating the code words and symbols then?
That's what I want. Not a 4Chan page.
n/a Unofish 2017-04-28
Don't even bother. Pedo protector.
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
Oh yea the guy who's looking at all the evidence available that shows that there are a lot of high up politicians that could possibly be involved in a pedo ring is the "protector".
If you were any dumber we would have to water you.
n/a Unofish 2017-04-28
I could of been more clear. I was talking about pesci. sorry for the misunderstanding.
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
Funny a guy named "unofish" would show up trying to protect a giant animal smuggling operation. I'm sure that's totally a coincidence.
n/a Unofish 2017-04-28
Oh god he found me..haelp
n/a Landiesaw 2017-04-28
Where's the same validating the codewords used in PizzaGate?
Here's the link https://wikileaks.org/wiki/FBI_pedophile_symbols
Do a search. You won't find pizza anywhere on there. The FBI documents covered the symbols for boy love, but in no way confirmed or even mentioned pizza.
The pizza connection was made by 4chan users, as /u/JoePesciOfGoneFishin mentioned. But PG proponents have conflated the two, and now go around claiming that the FBI corroborated the code words.
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
I already linked it to someone at some point.
It's the symbols used that relate to Besta and Comet.
Also in the Clinton emails there are plenty of examples of code words being used and there just isn't any reasonable explanation for them otherwise.
The napkin one stands out.
n/a Landiesaw 2017-04-28
How do you know they are code words?
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/32795
Explain to me why for one, anyone would care about a single napkin or handkerchief left behind.
And why it has a "pizza related map" on it?
That whole interaction is fucking weird.
And there's more examples if you do what other people haven't done, look.
n/a JewciferMcCuckshill 2017-04-28
What kind of rock do you live under where this conversation counts as weird?
n/a interfused-soap 2017-04-28
Why link the email then mention "napkin" at all, to try and throw some shade? But he didn't care.
No idea, because they're a thing? You can find just about anything on a handkerchief.
What's weird about a realtor finding an item left behind and asking about sending it on? And then Podesta not caring.
What do you think it all means?
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
Considering all the coincidences this whole group has been in I just don't think it happens to be a coincidence anymore that these particular words are used.
n/a interfused-soap 2017-04-28
What particular words?
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
Pizza, Handkerchief(black and white). There's more examples of them if you aren't convinced by a single email.
Also code words for particular things pedo.
Just go look yourself.
n/a interfused-soap 2017-04-28
What does "pizza" mean, is it code, what is the source of this code / your reasoning for picking out this word?
Are you referring to handkerchief code amongst the gay community? If so, what does a black and white handkerchief left in a home represent amongst the pedophile community
So the above aren't actually "things pedo?" So what are these code words and the source or reasoning that causes you to say they're indeed a code?
How does this work? Do I pick a word, search the emails to see if it's used more than x times, decide that must mean it has some relation to pedophilia / is code for something related to pedophilia, then decide on a meaning?
I searched the emails for "burger," this appears 332 times vs. 149 for "pizza," I can't decide between whether that means the act of a child being sandwiched between two pedophiles, or it's code for a 'husky' child.
n/a Landiesaw 2017-04-28
I don't know why they would mention a handkerchief, but the most obvious reason is because it's actually a handkerchief, and the pizza related map is a description of what's on the handkerchief.
It is only suspicious if pizza and handkerchief are codewords, and the only evidence for those codewords comes from 4chan, not FBI documents.
n/a EhrmantrautWetWork 2017-04-28
youre doing the lords work
n/a builder1117 2017-04-28
LMAO every fucking time with the "i-its from 4chan so it MUST be made up".
The code words go all the way back to the beginning of 4chan (Which was in 2004 I believe). And maybe they existed before then.
This is like saying because a teenager called weed "Pot" it's impossible that it would be code a adult would use. This whole argument is completely fucking retarded and it's so obvious it's specifically used for people who have only heard of 4chan as "The bad part of the internet", So they automatically believe the argument.
REMINDER: There is a MOUNTAIN of coincidental evidence supporting Pizzagate. Take half a hour looking at even a tiny bit of that evidence and then think of the fucking chances of it being fake.
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
Brother, I'm in total agreement. 4Chan isn't a bad source at all, after all they did uncover the Reds animal smuggling ring right after uncovering pizzagate
n/a builder1117 2017-04-28
Ok so you don't have a argument, So your just gonna keep going with your little "reds animal smuggling" skit.
Lazy shill.
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
Are you saying the 4chan codewords are not real evidence?
You seem awful invested in covering for these animal smuggling bastards, for some strange reason.
n/a CounterSpinYT 2017-04-28

Whats the worst thing we can accuse somebody of?
Now lets justify it
n/a Sarah_Connor 2017-04-28
bullshit.
OK, so even I hate the "burden of proof" arg... prove [provide evidence] of either of your claims vs dutrox or franklin.
Fuck your arg. its fucking lame. dutrox and franklin are real. this is real. your statement should get you hit in the face with a shovel.
n/a bartink 2017-04-28
I've asked for the best four or five pieces of evidence and it always starts with a list of take-out foods that staffers frequently eat in DC. That town runs on pizza and whatnot. But its just gotta be pedo code, which somehow every person in pizzagate following supposedly knows.
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
The main problem with PedoGate is people are too focused on a single pizza place in DC being the centre of it all. Obviously it fucking isn't, that should be fairly obvious. It was just the first one to raise suspicions.
The code which is seen multiple times in the Clinton Emails is here https://wikileaks.org/wiki/FBI_pedophile_symbols
n/a bartink 2017-04-28
Dude, have you ever in your life tried to trademark a logo? It has to be something that no one has trademarked or similar enough to possible be confused with one. Local businesses choose unique and strange logos all the time. A lot of times its a reference to something that isn't immediately obvious, but having nothing to do with something nefarious.
Take East Side Pies logo here in Austin. Infodorks started camping out and harassing these poor folks (who are friends of friends of mine and make damn good pizza) because they claimed it was a reference to the illuminati or some such shit and therefore just haaaaad to be part of pizzagate. Isn't it such a coincidence that a part of the pizza pedo conspiracy just happens to be in the hometown of Alex Jones, where he and most of his staff live? Amazing! The truth is that East Side Pies abbreviates to ESP and so the logo is a riff on that.
You can take some coincidences and make some story up with zero additional evidence if you want. But others of us want something concrete. If its such a large ring, why have no children come forward? Why do enthusiasts make stupid claims like the presence of a basement in the pizza place, which has no basement?
And this is exactly what I'm talking about. That's for the demo.
n/a TheGreenLandEffect 2017-04-28
There is plenty of other evidence along with the fact of the logos of the two pizza places located near each other. Official pedo code words being used in official linked emails of people involved with the Clintons, people being charged with child trafficking in Hati being pardoned and then being put on Hilary's campaigns, the people who own the land those pizza places are.
I could go on and on but I'm not prepared to unload all the evidence I have read into this thread because it would take too long and if you really want to debunk the whole claim look at the evidence for yourself and provide a reason for each and everyone single piece of evidence that is a very odd coincidence.
n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28

n/a JoePesciOfGoneFishin 2017-04-28
In the second link, there is no source for the "code words." they're just listed there with no reference as to how they are "official." Can you maybe explain where the code words come from and what makes them official? Because your link blows donkey sick.
n/a Meistermalkav 2017-04-28
I have not, nor will I ever, have sexual relations with that donkey.
So, why is "blows donkey dick" used? A link is a collection of letters, formatted so that a computer can understand it. How can a collection of letters suddenly go, and fellate a donkey?
Or, is it that you admit that in your usage of slang, you try to convey an idea using words that have a predefined meaning, to express a new idea, that you do not explicity want to stat out? Oh, wow, it is allmost like using slang conveys more that you are on the "inside" of a group, making self referential messages that are not easily understandable to the non initiated.
Wow, if there only was a source that tracked current slang....
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cheese+pizza
It is allmost as if 4-chan is the only readily available source for slang, as their userbase used to be quite diverse and interested in all sort of obtruse shit.
n/a pokejerk 2017-04-28
Psst... I'm going to let you in on a little secret:
The words "cheese pizza" (together) are never actually used in any of the emails. That's right. The only term you can actually prove existed before PG doesn't actually appear in the emails.

You are proving my point. Someone on 4chan literally made of up as a joke and now it's accepted as fact with no evidence that I've seen.
But you offered a ridiculous self-referential "source" as evidence.
n/a autopornbot 2017-04-28
It's true because the people who made it up say it's true!
n/a Meistermalkav 2017-04-28
"Someone on 4chan literally made of up as a joke"
If you criticise me with an official sounding declaration, would you mind showing me where it says so?
Because I could not find a single source for your claim, and would honestly be interrested in how you managed to track down what an anonymous user in a messageboard who posted that wrote. Maybe you have access to trackers, maybe you have elite hacking tools, who knows. The possibilities are endless.
But if you use refferences like "an unnamed expert said, without revealing his evidence", then I would call bullshit on your "fact" the same way you called bullshit on my "fact".

Thanks!
n/a Meistermalkav 2017-04-28
AAAh, so you have an autist from 4-chan showing interrest in a word is evidence that they made it up? What was that about not taking "Things 4channers take interrest in" for 100 as evidence?
Because if we take your pic of "They made that up for luls" as evidence, we could get into how unfair it is that we can't cite wikipedia as evidence, when there are edithathions to make wikipedia say what you want. I mean, by your own standarts, all you have is someone used the background of 4-chan, the iconic style, then wrote "Check out this double speak", and then send it to the new york times.
I still stand by my claim. If you can't defuse my argument without deeming 4-chan unreliable, or "fake", but then come up with why what 4-chan wrote is actually relevant, hell, what do you want? Is 4-chan in or out as a reliable source?

The problem is that once it was proven that the pizza place had no basement or kidnapped kids, people had to move the goalposts. Gotta move on to the stuff without evidence against it.
n/a TheWiredWorld 2017-04-28
People get really focused on the one place because they want to be -because they're brain washed drones who don't want it to be true.
When in reality, elite pedophilia is a documented and KNOWN thing - but let's be a fucking moron and focus on a pizza shop (and not evem the emails)

n/a DarkSideofTaco 2017-04-28

no, are you open to the possibility that you are the one who is wrong.
discuss anything you want... but dont be so married to your convictions, I shant to mine.

anyone denying this is just ill-informed. period.

absolute bullshit... I have ONLY ever had jobs that communicates by email, IRC, Slack, Text... no FUCKING single person speaks like this as a course of language that is common.

n/a Groomper 2017-04-28
This is the dumbest logic and I see it all the time on /r/conspiracy .
The fact that the MSM is not covering it means it's real!
The fact that no has produced any proof means there must be proof out there!
The fact that no one believes us means we must be right!
It's terrible logic. You want to know why an investigation hasn't taken place for PG? Because there's zero evidence of a crime (which is what you need to begin investigating).

There definitely must be pedo politicians in washington, but i have two theories - this whole pizzagate thing was a political bogus show to screw hillary, because she indeed might be related to some pedos. 2nd possibility, it was a fake news event, but the motive was to draw a real fireline. By burning a strip of land so to say, they warned and shut down all the pedos and politicians who might have been getting more and more engaged by this...bloody unspeakable allegation.

Where I also criticize rampant speculation and hyperbole
n/a EtCustodIpsosCustod 2017-04-28
Do you believe that Russian information operations changed the outcome of the election?
n/a 1tepa1 2017-04-28
I dont believe there has been evidence enough to believe it.
n/a EtCustodIpsosCustod 2017-04-28
At this point that's probably the most defensible position.
n/a EhrmantrautWetWork 2017-04-28
they definitely tried. do you think the russians are running propaganda campaigns in every arena they hope to have an influence on politics and public opinion?
n/a EtCustodIpsosCustod 2017-04-28
I expect every government to make some attempt at influencing public opinion in a target country when the circumstances suggest that a government's leadership has sufficient interest in supporting or preventing a particular political outcome. Whether such attempts will have a material impact is a separate inquiry.
n/a EhrmantrautWetWork 2017-04-28
How would you judge the impact
n/a EtCustodIpsosCustod 2017-04-28
I'd determine which specific activities I could attribute to the government in question with a reasonable degree of certainty, then speculate over the magnitude of the impact from those activities, while keeping in mind that the magnitude of the impact will vary geographically and significantly depend on the complex interactions of various prevailing themes in existence just prior to zero hour for the planned mission, all the while recognizing that the hypothesis supposing enough of an impact to change the election outcome cannot be falsified through empirical or any other means.
n/a EhrmantrautWetWork 2017-04-28
would you base your reaction on the effect of those actions or the intent?
n/a EtCustodIpsosCustod 2017-04-28
Any information operation is intended to influence the target population. The important details would be the specific resources and methods employed. Accurate information regarding those factors would help inform how best to prioritize the interests of the American people when dealing with Russia going forward. Never react.
"How best to prioritize the interests of the American people" is a topic of substantial disagreement among Americans.

n/a temporaryuser00z 2017-04-28
I could see the establishment doing the reverse, upvoting various conspiracy theories in these subs to distract from real conspiracies.
Promote chem trails while signing an executive order to allow coal companies to dump chemicals in rivers directly. Also planes are emmiting toxic substances... it's CO2 and our world is baking but no one beer cares about how the republicans are going to dismantle any climate change initiatives at the behest of large fossil fuel companies. The sec state was the president of Exon mobil.
Pizzagate and Clinton foundation stuff while the government swamp is filled twice deeper. Sketchy Russia connections. Out in the open nepotism. Erdawan just gave himself dictatorial powers and trump congratulated him becuase he has towers in Istanbul... same with the Philippines etc. Remember Flynn who promoted pizza gate was an actual foreign agent.
Right now democracy and freedom are at risk around the world. Erdawan seized control, dueterte is murdering people outright, Venezuela is in rebellion. Governments are generating fake news, monitoring communications, tampering with other countries elections. Big companies run the show. People are dying from opiates while for profit prisons make money on millions of young men on weed convictions.
But this sub has found the real deal... the earth is flat, D.C. elite are torturing and diddling kids in ironically named pizza shops, planes are spreading mind control agents, the Rothchilds and elders of Zion are secretly out to neuter the rest of the world... the powers the be probably make upvote bots for these sites/forums.

Companies, governments, politicians use social media and complex algorithms to deliver specific content, fake information, and marketing aimed at you... you think you make your own decisions while you are flooded with microtargeted ads and content follow you on the web.
Everything is about reducing people to consumers. Latest fashions for clothes you do not need, pictures of airbrushed models to make you insecure and buy cosmetics and sumpplements... everything geared to insercutiry, a constent need for more stuff to fill a void.
Everything reduced to a torrent of short sound bites... people get used to this torrent and are unable to do complex long cognitvely intensive tasks.
Pizzagate is a classic example. Its either an oganic outgrowth of a preconditioned popoulation or actively pushed narrative by some entity.
Basically snippets of information, intrigue, linked to together with loose associations. No time intesive cognitevely complex information.. rather just intuitive random associations. Add in the aura of mystique by adding in nefarious organizations and leading political oepratives.
Tap into a national dislike and distrust of the hilary campaign. Also, emotionally charge it... pedophiles using innocent kids.
Add in an an anti establishment pro trump angle... and people take this hook line and sinker. Promoted on some sites (infowars whose star admitted to it being an act) to some people in positions of power (flynn, aka russian agent)... and it gets credence.
Then 100s of people on the internet do "research"... aka image searches and simple good searches, and then spin them into the narrative.
All fun except this distracted from an election where trump describes walking in on changing teen Ms USA contestants and groping women without consent... where he has sold our country out to foreign and corporate interests.
All fun until some ass shows upto comet ping pong with a gun...
All fun until people's busnisses and empoyes suffer...
We got played and now coal companies can dump chemicals into water ways, big oil will get their pipeline so they can get canadian oil to ports to ship to other countries, defense contractors get more orders, healthcare to poor people gets cut, erdawans get licence to do what he wants in Turkey, private prisons get a break, marijuana is not getting legalized at a federal level while sessions is in charge, we bombed syria, companies and rich people will get tax breaks blowing holes in our deficit while poor people dont, and not action on climate change, social programs to help the opiate epidimic are under attack...
You got played r/conspiracy and some small independent pizza shops took the brunt (papa johns thanks you btw).
n/a kbxads 2017-04-28
your writing and style is definitely top notch, but i can't tell if you're being over dramatic (i do too sometimes) or what? yes, believe me pizzagate is all fake, pushed by the establishment to discredit itself, in whose eyes? don't ask! it was just a bogus thing. Trump is fine, the bits of dirt here and there don't stick like the way the entire career of hillary clinton is a big pile of shit. yes the net is bad, but you also have ad blockers if you think you're being played. you're not actually, google doesn't WANT to find you and screw you. It knows you by search strings you have searched and it is programmed to give you the ads related to what you search. Sure, maybe you know more about all this, but it just seems you know you're being dramatic, but your words...they're spreading real...discontent.
n/a temporaryuser00z 2017-04-28
Trump is only fine because he has been incompetent. He has sold out the government, bombed Syria, done nothing of what he promised but has made sure big companies can pollute, appointed an AG who thinks canabis is evil, proposed a healthcare plan that was more costly and worse than obama care, proposed cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations, plans to gut the EPA, destroyed climate change intiatives, wants to cut funding for science, cut funding for combatting the opiate epidimic, set a new low for nepotism in the govement, spends millions of federal tax dollars on trips for himself and his family, set a new standard for hiding conflicts of interest... I mean what has Trump done to promote transparancy, the common persons interests, roll back the military industrial complex???

n/a temporaryuser00z 2017-04-28
Under control? No, just trying to grab as much of the pie as I can without selling out my convictions. Just like everyone else.
No sane person is going to run for office or get power because it is impossible to penetrate the average consumer citzen.
Years of lies mean no one is willing to listen to complex points or naunce. Consumer voters won't listen to bad news. No one wants to change. Coprotations are geared to short term profits and reward sociopaths.
Coroporations, religions, special intersts seak to dismantle the insitutions of western democracy... and the public goes with it and as income inequality grows the voice of the people further shrinks. Companies have their own voices now protect by SCOTUS and billions to amplify it.
We have lost touch with the enlightenment principles upon which our governemnt is founded. We look backwards instead of forwards. Americans and Europeans, softened by years of plenty cannot even comprehend how bad things can get.
The iceberg is ahead, the band keeps playing, the party goes on for now, this ship cannot sink... right?

Actually it kind of does.
theory n 1: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory" 2: a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted in chemical practices" [syn: hypothesis, possibility, theory]

They wouldnt need any of that. They control the databases, no bots no way of seeing the edits.
Just change a line or two and theyre good to go.
n/a Meistermalkav 2017-04-28
Simple. They want the impressions.
Compare it to me. Sure, I can get a forum up, and install 20 k bots on a server that upvote and downvote stuff, but that makes a lot of false impressions.
On the opposite end, if I install the bot network herder on my server, and tell someone, if you wanna manipulte the comments, just download an exit node, and leave it on your machine. Thus, if you wanna upvote, lets say, hillary clinton is the next messiah, 20,000 times, whil downvoting "I have had it with this motherfucking big government shills in this motherfucking sub", if you now use the bot herder, you would get 20.000 distributed machines and different IP's .
I mean, lets think this one step further.
The biggest problemn social media sites have is correct / active users. If I am one user, but have 50 accounts, the site gets 1 user, but 49 fake ones.
However, if I use a new IP for every account, and lets say space it out a bit, I am a step closer to being undistinguishable from real accounts. 50 "real" accounts, in advertising, are much more valuable then 49 fake accounts and 1 real one.
So, it is in the best interrests to clear up the number of fake accounts, but accounts that have a unique IP, don't post from macros, and so forth? Wow, that is indistinguishable from real accounts.
So, lets assume you are evil kenievel, and wanna post your stunts and upvote them too. You know, under the idea of, "advertisements". How would the company of reddit do this?
The problem becomes a bit worse if you assume the company is under watch. Not from outside (FBI, hackers, ect), but from inside as well (Disgruntled employees). So, you have to keep the number of people that "know" extremely small.
How about moving that bot herder outsuide of the company? How about placing it on the server of a different entity? How about having multiple of these?
Now, the company could be forensically investigated, all you would find is, the evil kenievel stunts were upvoted by 50 different people.
If you fucked with the databases, shit, people would know. people would get it. someone would blab, or just investigate out of curiosity, or something of the likes. And one insider to the company that blabs, and manages to substantiate it enough to give it credibility, and BOOM, you are done.
Here is where it gets interresting.
For years, we have seen that different organisations have "tools" for social media manipulation. Hell, they have a network for 50 k employees, most of them do their work dutifully, why should they pay to use reddits botheders when they could simply write their own? After all, a LT in langley and an LT in germany will not neccessarily complain if the network is a bit slow, if all they use their internet for is sending emails and occasionally watching some movies. If the network now says, you are part of the botnet, what's so bad about it? You log onto reddit, look up the herder, upvote and dowvote according to your work list, and you logg off again. you can do this with a script under 1 MB. Even pictures usually have more.
So, it would be in the best interrest of reddit to encourage this kind of behavior.
it gives them plausible deniability ( we didn't know nothing)
it gives them more unique views.
-it prevents the advertisers from exactly knowing how many impressions are fake and how many are true, thus driving up the price reddit can ask for advertisement.
n/a Smoothtank 2017-04-28
A lot of posts get pasted/linked elsewhere where normal behavior and thought are dominant, then it draws outsiders here who begin downvoting everything with their rudimentary ideas of the world.

I've noticed that anytime someone creates a new thread topic about Pizzagate/Pedogate that it gets brigaded by trolls who post condescending messages, for the purposes of derailing or confusing anyone not familiar with the leaked Podesta emails or leaked Alefantis Instagram pics.
I've also noticed trolls come out in droves whenever there's a good thread topic about:
Ron Paul - he talks a lot about the Military Industrial Complex & the Deep State, but "dissenters" come in to bash him or to bash the OP.
Julian Assange - whenever someone posts something positive about him, such as one of his recent tweets, the trolls come out with their typical smears against him, saying he's a Russia spy or a Mossad spy.
Tulsi Gabbard - whenever someone posts about her "Stop Arming the Terrorists" bill, the trolls come out to denounce her as being unpatriotic. The most vile trolls talk about her meeting with Assad, which they say make her a Russian puppet. Like, wtf??
This sub has been invaded by trolls or shills. For what purpose is anyone's guess. Paid trolls, bots programmed to post when key words are triggered, etc.

And the kicker, "Now all I need is concrete proof".
Hilarious.

The meme's are stronger than they ever were. This is why people think /r/conspiracy is a joke, people like you spouting off random paranoia with no proof of anything.
n/a StrizzMatik 2017-04-28
Honestly we are at the point where r/conspiracy needs to move to a new home. The amount of attacks by shills is already ridiculous and getting worse, and Reddit completely supports this kind of Orwellian censorship anyway. Really isn't that hard to go somewhere else or at least set up shop where the mods and users both can be more proactive about removing/banning shills without hamstringing themselves by not being allowed to call anyone out thanks to Rule 10.
n/a yokothespacewhale 2017-04-28
Please don't leave it at this, friend.
The downvoting today is very strange and I'm too technically retarded to help you quantify this.
I promise you gold if you can put a better, sourced post up soon.
n/a dickwashboard 2017-04-28
reddit was down last night, so many people likely searched "reddit maintenance" to determine if it was site wide. r/conspiracy was one of the top search results when i searched. i came here, and immediately saw tired "but my pizzagate theories!" shyte, and quickly got my downvote finger smoking hot. i'm guessing by the comments here that i wasnt the only one that reacted that way. mystery solved.
n/a yokothespacewhale 2017-04-28
to clarify: I wasn't seeing it on pizzagate threads, though I guess a smoking hot downvote finger may be a bit harsher on other kinda-shitty posts that might otherwise have been scrolled past. I don't know. Just wish OP had some data.

It's partisan horseshit that's why. I wanna see more of the posts like "debunking the attack on ecigs" the other day, or "more people are smoking mj than drinking and the gov. wants to keep profits high for booze co.s" Also 9/11, and similar stuff. Both the virulent anti-trump stuff AND the constant anti-hillary posts are so annoying. This isn't r/pol or r/t_d i don't know why so many people try to make it either one.
n/a Deathoftheages 2017-04-28

n/a XavierSimmons 2017-04-28
This theory is dumb.
All you have to do is create a couple hundred users and a single bot. As long as your bot is white-listed (because as you know, you've always had to identify your bot via headers) your bot can use multiple users to do whatever it wants.
Now all I need is concrete proof.

n/a pntsonfyre 2017-04-28
Every time I see a post like, "THIS SUB HAS GONE TO SHIT" or "this sub is under attack" I always have to wonder, "How long long have you been here? Shit."
This forum is pretty similar to others in that they are all Ground Zero of the propaganda war's raging. I mainly like reddit because people are slightly less feral here than they are at GLP, for example which is so full of racists, shills and CJW's that it makes the /T_D seem Antifa in comparison.
People don't fully understand the role that conspiracy forums like this serve. As long as we're arguing over dogma and talking points given to us by either people that play character's on TV or more mundane mainstream talking heads like Anderson Cooper or trash like Sorcha Faaaaaaiiil or Steven Greer we aren't organizing to take back our rights. They aren't going to destroy r/conspiracy. It's the same with "OBAMA HAS THE INTERNET KILL SWITCH" conspiracy floating around here before the election. TPTB would never, ever kill the internet unless they were going to replace it with something even more soul destroying. It is a pretty effective method of population control because it is so effective at influencing people.

I'd agree - too many systematic downvotes not equivocal to the mind type found in this sub - unless trolls continually scroll through "new" and just downvote everything with an unjudging fury - I've also noticed a lot more stuff being gaslighted - the aldous huxley post about a mentally ill person who's the worst is one who you can't tell is mentally ill - wtf is that shit doing on this? Think about it - just the slightest gap within the mind and it allows the whole flock in
n/a avohec 2017-04-28
This sub has been under attack for years. It comes and goes in waves, but there are always bots and shills all over r/conspiracy, all of the time.
The biggest joke about this sub is the rule saying you can't call someone a shill. Like, really? I understand not going into a witchhunt and posting personal information but calling someone a shill is going to do what? Attract large lawsuits? Ignite the endtimes? They literally can not every verbally justify why that rule is in place, and I have believed it was created to protect actual shills for years.

Companies, governments, politicians use social media and complex algorithms to deliver specific content, fake information, and marketing aimed at you... you think you make your own decisions while you are flooded with microtargeted ads and content follow you on the web.
Everything is about reducing people to consumers. Latest fashions for clothes you do not need, pictures of airbrushed models to make you insecure and buy cosmetics and sumpplements... everything geared to insercutiry, a constent need for more stuff to fill a void.
Everything reduced to a torrent of short sound bites... people get used to this torrent and are unable to do complex long cognitvely intensive tasks.
Pizzagate is a classic example. Its either an oganic outgrowth of a preconditioned popoulation or actively pushed narrative by some entity.
Basically snippets of information, intrigue, linked to together with loose associations. No time intesive cognitevely complex information.. rather just intuitive random associations. Add in the aura of mystique by adding in nefarious organizations and leading political oepratives.
Tap into a national dislike and distrust of the hilary campaign. Also, emotionally charge it... pedophiles using innocent kids.
Add in an an anti establishment pro trump angle... and people take this hook line and sinker. Promoted on some sites (infowars whose star admitted to it being an act) to some people in positions of power (flynn, aka russian agent)... and it gets credence.
Then 100s of people on the internet do "research"... aka image searches and simple good searches, and then spin them into the narrative.
All fun except this distracted from an election where trump describes walking in on changing teen Ms USA contestants and groping women without consent... where he has sold our country out to foreign and corporate interests.
All fun until some ass shows upto comet ping pong with a gun...
All fun until people's busnisses and empoyes suffer...
We got played and now coal companies can dump chemicals into water ways, big oil will get their pipeline so they can get canadian oil to ports to ship to other countries, defense contractors get more orders, healthcare to poor people gets cut, erdawans get licence to do what he wants in Turkey, private prisons get a break, marijuana is not getting legalized at a federal level while sessions is in charge, we bombed syria, companies and rich people will get tax breaks blowing holes in our deficit while poor people dont, and not action on climate change, social programs to help the opiate epidimic are under attack...
