I wonder how long it would take to notice.

Shadowban all users. Respond to their comments and posts with AI generated responses only visible to the poster. Redditors famously don't want others to know their handle so they won't share it around. You could only tell from a signed out device reading something you commented in.

Flood the site with generated posts and 'engagement' that is all ad friendly. Turn the whole place into Weenie Hut Jr.

Do this pre IPO then bail forever.

Even when 90% of subs were down, I didn't notice much difference. I visited r/interestingAsFuck several times but it was candy. It's why I delete Reddit every now and then.

There's a lot of reposted content too. I tried to farm r/poetry to feed my LLM, but the top stuff are the same reposted poems and edgy anti-poetry. Reddit could just repost the same thing again and again.

I wonder if that would constitute what the SEC calls "Internet fraud" at that point.
