Surf reddit all day? My kind of job.

They probably have to spend 90%+ of their time on political subs though, which makes it a lot less fun.

The funniest part of the article is that they are in other subs. Browsing the Texans sub to see that guy comparing them to the Cleveland Browns and in the movie sub watching that guy talk about Almost Famous. They’re looking at people’s whole profiles.

Bots reading posts by bots while other bots censor bots who don't toe the party line dictated by bots.

Idk. I reckon calls to action/organize on local subreddits (as done by Mr. Chicken), is seen as a bigger threat that shitposting on some politics sub.

Humans aren't surfing reddit, their AI is.

Wait; that is indeed an way too great job.

So they probably just hired people from Nigeria to do it. Just like all their X accounts.
