Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news (redlib.tiekoetter.com)

Whelp. It appears I am a robot. I guess I don't get to find out what my fellow boys are up to. smh.

(Edit).. apparently I can't even spell "bots" correctly. I'm failing all the tests today.

Anyone not plain vanilla and falling in line, apparently. Unless you're fabulously wealthy or otherwise "useful."

Oh no, those reddits are all modded by the same people!

The entirety of Reddit is astroturfed lol. Has been for years.

It's really, really obvious, too. I don't have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.

Sometimes I just know about the eminence of the launch of something because of the crap memes about it that start to flood Reddit. Then I see my non-reddit friends sharing it from other sources.

Obvious gorilla marketing is obvious, but people fall in droves.

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
