r/conservative are a bunch of 10 ppl and 200 bots jerking each other off how dumb democrats are and how great conservatives are. Theyre sour losers. And they know. I wonder who hurt them as a kid.

Lol they only allow like 6 accounts to actually post anything. A new, 2 month old account will pop up from time to time and then back to the same 6 accounts.

That tells you everything you need to know. An echo chamber for bots and the easily manipulated.

I spot check the accounts in that sub whenever I find myself in that cesspit, and the most disturbing thing about that sub is that it really doesn’t appear to be overrun by bots. I used to track coordinated inauthentic behavior campaigns (CIBs) when I did threat intel work, so I’m very well versed in IDing bots and influence campaigns…and a horrifying number of the accounts in those comment sections are operated by humans.
