Hah. Reddit "truth" is sold and bought at every level for anything popular enough. It's just the illusion of truth. Your site:reddit.com strategy stopped making sense 2-3 years ago.
I will not be sad when reddit essentially dies in a few years from now. Good riddance.
There is still a ton of value in the more niche Reddit communities. I don’t spend much time in the default subs, but the smaller interest-based subs are great and most of them are too small for the karma farmers to really care about.
Might as well get off the entire internet because all of the popular sites are sold and bought at every level.
a) there is no political aspect to it
and
b) there is no commercial aspect to it
I've seen an influx of political redditors making their way here to fight e.g. nuclear power (because why not) over the past few years. I can't imagine the professionals working on protecting/pushing brands are very far behind.
Quora was good for more centrist and international comments, but it too has been destroyed by poor development combined with politically motivated moderation.
