You really think so? I'm all for a conspiracy but I think most people think this will never take off and find it insignificant compared to reddit. Does anyone else agree?

I don't think, I know. I was recruited to build software just for this purpose. I saw the inner workings of it.

Almost everything you read on reddit is factory farmed, 100% USDA Triple A PR.

I saw this back on reddit! Glad you followed over.

It was probably very interesting seeing the news that the military admitted to similar experimentation.

Thank you for sharing this. Kind of surprising how trivial it was for them to manipulate stuff without even trying too hard.

You mentioned you helped build software for this sort of thing - was the specific project/group in the video one that you were involved in, or just similar in topical content?

No these guys in the video were just some netsec guys trying to expose the amount of shillery out there. What I saw was some next level stuff.

Would you be willing to elaborate on that? I understand if you are uncomfortable doing so for privacy concerns. I hope you can understand how valuable information on this would be to our community. If it's been written about elsewhere then any nudges toward specific sites or resources on the subject would be appreciated.

Very interesting. I only had a chance to watch the first 10 minutes but will watch the rest when I get off work. Thank you.

I think obama/clinton/bushNazi2016 got abducted during the down time. I'm all for outside the box thinking, but that dude was whacked.

yeah his conduct was pretty aberrant. I'm sure there are some unchained people on the internet, and I think that behavior like that was kind of artificially strange if that makes any sense.
