It's good that people are exposing manipulation and the corporations behind it but it's quite useless to do it on a heavily censored and already manipulated platform like reddit. I would also like to remember everyone that a bunch of people paid to work 8h a day could rig lemmy in a day, if you don't stop upvoting memes and stupid subs evil corporations like palantir are going to feast on lemmy.

if you don’t stop upvoting memes and stupid subs

Who says "we're" up voting it? Nobody questions where the upvotes for "PuppyOfTheDay" come from? Once you concede the algorithm is rigged, it's silly to blame the humans for what's on your feed.

According to your history you are posting memes and shitposts yourself.

I guess I'm a highly sophosticated Palantir bot account trying to trick you into interacting with me.

Saw a jailbait post/entire community ("fauxbait") pop-up just yesterday. It's like watching it all happen from scratch.
