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.
A couple years ago, I thought about how I would effectively control Reddit with bots, if I had the opportunity, and I decided that sport subs would be a great place to farm karma and comments, while looking just like a human.
The way I imagined it, you would have networks of bots, say 20-50 active accounts, that act autonomously most of the time, posting pointless comments and memes. You'd then have one or more operators on these accounts, who occasionally take them over to agitate - posting highly inflammatory comments and attacking non-prog comments.
Sports subs make a great location for farming, because you need almost no input to have long comment chains where words are written, but no new information is exchanged. People can go on and on, regurgitating the same known facts about ref calls and player records, back and forth, in ways that bots can very easily understand and replicate. Hell, most of that is probably already in machine-readable databases created by sports autists.
I wouldn't be surprised if fewer than half of /r/baseball's users were actually human. It certainly wouldn't be if I were a bad actor.
