    We’ll see how it plays out. I have a feeling reddit may currently be putting in artificial upvotes and comments to save things. They’ve done it when reddit got their start, and as someone who works in tech, I know nothing’s stopping them to create a fake 10 year old account with thousands of karma and fake old replies to do some social engineering to make it appear that nothing has changed. This might work out, or it might not.

      No need to create them, they’ve got lots of old ‘deleted’ accounts they can resurrect for this purpose.
