At this point I'm convinced that ALL of Reddit had become compromised. It's been that way for at least three years, possibly longer.
Let's face it: whenever there's a point (online or irl) where millions upon millions of people would congregate to exchange ideas and discourse - ESPECIALLY anti-establishment rethoric - that point was going to be a frontline for the clash of ideologies.
And we all know which ideology has all the capital and elects to co-op everything, including criticism against itself.
