That’s pretty much US politics summed up, isn’t it? Ignore what they people say and throw money into it to get what you want.
its definitely not election interference guys, trust me, it’s definitely not election interference.
buying a bunch of upvotes on a website dominated by bot accounts is a very cost effective way to run an AstroTurf campaign
Astroturfing is when corpos pretend to be grassroots
“I thought trump was a terrible person, but the updoots be changed my mind”
Yeah sure. I mean there’s probably at least one or two feeble minded redditors like that but… Not a bunch. Especially if they’re confining themselves to right leaning subs.
“Our opinions are wildly unpopular to the point where even if a bunch of us showed up we’d struggle to make a difference so we’re gunna need to buy upvotes!”
Like…c’mon.
Have you seen the content there?
Yeah they’re gonna need lots of money to get any attention
Oh wow, so it’s basically a content farm for /r/TheRightCantMeme
FYI unfortunately that sub got taken over by pro-russia and pro-ccp tankies.
One of the mod of the sub is also a hexbear mod.
Fuckin’ yikes.
Dumb enough to fall for a Facebook lie about Tim Walz, but smart enough to use a crappy image editor?
No, the Russians already provided the image with the lie
I love the conservatives think that’s such cutting slander when really having a male politician who understands the need for feminine hygiene products by uterus havers everywhere is such a breath of fresh air
The right may not have good ideas, organizational skills, charm, ethics, understanding of economics, history, or politics, or strength in numbers, but they do have the one thing more important than all of these.
Money!
You don’t get and keep money without some of these skills though.
Eric Trump says “what?!”
And this after his father would have made 8 times more money by simply leaving it in the bank than all of his variety of hotel and Sharper Image steak sales businesses - he’s literally the only one I’ve ever heard of who managed to lose money running a casino!
“The system” is what makes wealth, not individual people these days. Obviously not solely, but the above example shows how it is the primary determination factor.
I’d argue they do have organizational skills and and strength in numbers. Don’t underestimate that.
Busing in those upvotes again?
Gasp, you all surely don’t believe that conservatives would ever engage in voter manipulation tactics… r-r-right!?
No definitely not. They’ve been wanting “fair elections” all this time.
This must be why Trump said they people only need to vote one more time, and then they’ll never need to do so ever again.
One election, to rule them all… and in the darkness bind them
Counter argument: Reddit is predominately American. These upvote sites use low cost foreign slave labor to generate their output. Buying upvotes is outsourcing jobs. Keep Reddit American. Don’t buy upvotes!
I’m not American and I am a Redditor!
Everyone with a Reddit account, let’s sell upvotes to conservatives on Jordan_Peterson_Memes. It’s income redistribution with zero impact.
Point me to the sign up sheet
Lol. What’s truth social stock worth today? 12 cents and a bucket of chicken wing bones?
There absolutely no way this isn’t an ad for upvote buying services lol this is so insane and transparent and the worst part is it’ll work
It screams Steve Bannon.
Keen observation skills. I wouldn’t have caught on, I’m sad to say.
The all caps gave it away
Thats exactly what I believe. I know there is no limits to stupidity, but don’t you use bots to make it seem legit? Who would go around saying, “hey guys we’re losing. We should use BOTS. We should buy BOTS ACCOUNT AND UPVOTES from BOTSFORSALE.org”
Have to respect someone getting in on grifting conservatives without even endorsing their views in the process.
In this case they do very much help those views though. Either they create the appearance of public appeal, which draws more people to these views, or they manage to disrupt spaces that formerly fostered a different political culture.
If we look at Twitter we see the second aspect particularly strongly.
Honestly, there’s and endless sea of grift attempts going on at all times. You don’t think people selling fake gold Trump coins, etc give one damn about his politics, do you? They’re just trying to wring every penny out of the die hards
I have to respect the mall t-shirt kiosks selling poorly made trump merch right next to the equally poorly made Kamala merch. At least they’re just there for the hustle
Last presidential election here in Brazil there were some some traffic light salesman selling towels with the presidential candidates. And they walked around with a score board showing which one had sold more. And they sold a lot more because people didn’t want to see their beloved candidate on the losing side.
Man, the cash I could make with flexible ethics.
Right? I was going to sell 5g blockers online when the pandemic started, but I have some semblance of a conscience… Also my wife threatened to leave me if I did.
I mean, it’s an ad but it’s also thought-provoking and interesting. Before now we all knew what was happening we just didn’t know the details also kind of interesting to see proof it’s a conversation starter. I think I would have preferred it if the author would have redacted the URL though.
How to milk the conservatives.
“We’re victims!!! 😭😭😭”
Remember guys “no brigading” is only a reddit-wide rule and does not apply to brigade efforts that originate from outside of reddit. Also, koboldcpp is great for self-hosted text generation ai. I don’t know who needs to read this so go crazy with that information.
I cringe every time I see someone like this say “to oblivion.”
Really? Is that really necessary? Why so consistently specific?
Brb gonna sell some upvotes and not actually do anything lol
Show me your ways wise man
It’s easy; you just go on the internet and tell lies
You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
You ai bots aren’t fooling me!
I have never lied on the Internet.
Mostly.
You wouldn’t!
“How dare the left accuse us of fascism, they’re the fascists! Now c’mon everyone, let’s conspire to fake vote totals so we can assert authority we didn’t earn.”
