I fucking love it. R/baseball is, oddly enough, one of the most cucked boards on reddit. My main has been permabanned there for several years (despite me using alts to post the spicier stuff), and just had another account banned there yesterday. Honestly those people are absolutely insufferable and reading their meltdowns over this made my day.
Now don't get me wrong, while I'm glad they caved and changed it back, even changing it in the first place still means they're cucks who you shouldn't ever give any money to if you can help it.
I go back and forth on the level of astroturfing on plebbit. Obviously many mod positions on important boards are compromised like you say, that's a given. But take r/baseball for example, the comments are usually giga cucked. But a few times over the years it's been as if a switch was flipped and the astroturfing bot farms were off for the day and tons of normalcy shines through in the comments. It's kind of eerie.

I think reddit goes out of their way to make distinctly American boards as soy as possible. Probably hand-pick the moderators to do so.
/r/nascar is like this too. Full of bubba wallace stans and people who look down on the "rednecks" who are the actual fanbase.

Bot farms need their cash flow.
