Ghislaine Maxwell was a powermod on reddit for ~~years~~ decades.

She had the 8th most link related karma of any account as of 6 years ago, and was the first reddit account to hit a million karma, she'd been there since basically the beginning in 06.

We've known this since before even this most recent drop of Epstein files.

Yeah, yeah, reddit has been completely fucked for a long time.

Go look into how Aaron Schwartz, one of reddit's founders, suicided over doing what major tech firms are arguing they have every right to do to train their LLMs.

reddit has always been a heavily manipulated tool for elites to gaslight people with, and we are just recently realizing how much that is and has always been the case.
