The only thing I miss about reddit is access to the comments. There was often valuable troubleshooting advice in the comments for a myriad of issues. It's a real shame that they've taken this stance. Just another mistake in a long line of mistakes that is going to result in the death of the platform.

    I remember the same happening. They were curating the appearance of diversity by putting certain people behind Trump. I remember seeing posts about pay, especially during the campaign leading up to the 2024 election because Trump was so unpopular at that time that his rallies were largely empty. They were doing all kinds of camera tricks to try to create the sense that he filled a stadium. Meanwhile 90 percent of the upper level was empty and half the main floor was empty as well.

    I don't have the energy to dig it up and source it for the Lemmings but I definitely remember this stuff taking place.

    Paid protestor? Maybe not. Paid rally attendees for propaganda? Absolutely.
