      Right? I felt like all the top comments were always the same on all the subs, usually lame jokes that have been done to death on the rest of the site.

        Whatever your political leanings are…this is ridiculous:

        It’s just easier to separate on the political subs. But imagine something like that right there pushed out in subs you don’t really think to look for it in, with a totally different message.

          Oh yeah, left-leaning subs aren’t immune to bots. The 2016 American Presidential election showed the power of using bots to push a uniform message.
