/r/conspiracy is compromised

165  2017-05-29 by VREV0LUTI0N

I believe a focused effort is being put forth to control the online narrative refer to my post history where I considered the possibility of entire posts populated with shills to create fake consesus.

Is it possible posts could be completely sh11ed?

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/6duuvx/is_it_possible_posts_could_be_completely_shilled/

This undermines the credibility of Reddit as a whole. The point of this online community is to foster discussion and ideas where value and reach is determined by upvotes AKA public opinion.

The List of Shi1l Bot Downvoters https://imgur.com/a/8sOoS

A post doesnt generate that many comments and get downvoted in the way shown in those charts.

My post was a short and simple theory posts were being artificially upvoted and filled with shi1ls so that lurkers see a fake consensus among supposed peers.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_(Internet_culture)

These shi1led posts are influencing a much much larger amount of people than just the commenters and whoevers controlling these narratives knows that. Reddit is severely compromised. Am i wrong to think my small post being buried this aggressively is pretty definitive evidence that Reddit as a whole is compromised?

The subscriber count of /r/conspiracy alone is 458,000 and i assume most lurkers wouldnt use accounts so the unique visitor count is much higher.

The electronic world is compromised. every device. every person. every email. every call. Wikileaks, TPTB, CIA, NSA, GCHQ, Five Eyes, they told us all.

All you have to do is unplug...but you really can't, can you...

I wonder where this goes...

"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

A rabbit hole to another universe. Its like this recent election was Truman seeing the stage lamp fall from the sky. We are awakening. Starting to see the outline of our dome. Im afraid of where this leads. Every where i look every conclusion i come to seems to be another curtain or veil designed to seem real to distract from the truth. Their are vast armies today designed to lead us astray.

The thing is that, if anything, this election has made me begin to wonder if there's another huge conspiracy going on that I wasn't really aware of, and that the cold war is actually still continuing...

You should check out my thoughts on unplugging!

I worked for a Cellular Company. Privacy has been over.

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/62h4jl/i_worked_for_a_cellular_company_privacy_has_been/

fuck no, someone has to play skyrim... I'm really easy to be brought into the internet...

You gotta figured that a large portion of those 450,000+ subscribers are abandoned accounts that haven't logged on in years... I don't think reddit ever culls dead subscribers from the counts... so these could be a lot of dormant accounts that subbed like 7 years ago and never came back.

Irrelevant consider most lurkers would not use accounts i didnt make one for 2 years. The count is 400k or more absolutely guaranteed which is a huge population to be able to deliver the illusion of peer to peer analysis and consensus

Lurkers can't contribute anything to this sub... and yer crazy to think even anything even close to 450,000 people visit this sub in a week... we can't even swing 500 upvotes without the help of /r/all/ and bots/brigades. There are ways to track participation outside of sub count and upvotes...

Your missing the point of lurkers being shown a false consensus and Reddit gives the expectation you are surrounded by something slightly similar to semi intelligent peers. Most people assume threads are natural and unbiased but Reddit is clearly a walled garden.

You can't help dumb fucks not be dumbfucks... they are dumbfucks for life usually... and if they believe everything they read on the internet... then those fucks are dumb.

%%CAN I GET AN OUTSIDE OPINION ON THIS%%

You should calm down I notice youve been commenting every few minutes for the past 24 hours and every day before that and posting almost every day. And your arguing down the type of post looking for people fitting your description.

I don't have any clue what you are saying... I comment for 24 hours straight every day... for years! I post on this sub like it is my job. Wink wink! Oh sorry... I had something in my eye...

What is your job?

UCTSR Level 2 - They call me a "cleanser"... I keep out the foul... wipe it away and keep America clean... for clean livin' folks like me.

Feeling Human today?

I went to see a band in New York. The lead singer got on the microphone, and he said How many of you people feel like human beings tonight? Then he said How many of you feel like animals? And everyone cheered after the animals part. But the thing is, I cheered after the human being part because I did not know that there was a second part to the question.

I think there's like 50 actual people in here and the bots.

I think highest maximum actual "community" type users for this sub is like 150.

We should gather that community and go elsewhere. An external examination of Reddit behavior without constant doubt, derailment, and especially partisanship. Would probably yield an interesting peek into what exactly our overlords want us to believe and then we can start talking about the why.

You are not someone I'd consider part of that community just because of this thread. Why would you?

I am just stating the need for it.

I see this every day

https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm

I want to discuss the things they are burying and dont want to be discussed on /r/conspiracy see what illusion their trying to create.

Don't put your faith in reddit.

Put faith in your fellow man.

Learn to speak with your neighbors.

The harm being done upon themselves is just so. Those who fabricate, mislead and manipulate for the sake of personal profit will come to the fruitions of their actions on their own and in their own time.

Every response binds them.

As this site continues to house transgressions, it serves as a record of the binding contracts set forth by those too foolish to see their fetters.

Sell yourself for pennies if you wish.

I don't like my neighbors.

Hunger teaches you to acquire tastes.

You think I should eat my neighbors?

Wish I had more upvotes to give.

If you need any assistance PM me.

A couple of the mods are blatant plants and if you've been here for a few years you'll know that anyway. A couple of them are good eggs though. I actually feel a bit bad for being rude to one of them in the past as it happens. They came through for me when I had some grief here the other day, no two ways about it.

That, along with what you're talking about here, has given me food for thought. I think I'm probably not the only one here who can be overly caustic to people who really ought to be my ally over the fact that they hold some belief or opinion that I don't agree with. Going to have to swallow it a bit from now on and look to the common goals.

My main concern is this community being influenced by falsified posts full of fake comments pushing a narrative. This is not partisan not trump or clinton or Seth Rich but a basic concern about the state of this sub and the fact the mods wont come forward and address this concern is deeply troubling.

Yeah, fair enough. You're absolutely right about what's happening by the way. I've been here so long that I even know which accounts are going to appear and comment on a particular post theme. The ones you're talking about are full of strangers with either no interest in conspiracy topics or non organic-looking ones with a history of what I imagine they think somebody would be interested in. But whatevs.. You're right. It is happening. Amongst other things.

I'm an atheist (and a gambler) but neither spoils my enjoyment of this absolutely splendid song. Johnny has more chance of converting me with this than an army of priests btw. Anyway, this ones for you FattyCarbuncle.

The reason stated for why this topic is being removed is nothing but pure horseshit! "The site might possibly dox someone, and it might possibly make us dox by affiliation." That's not how it works. You cannot control what other people put on their sites. If they link it as a resource it is outside of reddit TOS and should bear nothing on the site rules. It is a cop out to pedophile admin pressure.

The admins have shadow deleted posts of mine before on 9/11. They love to be sneaky little weebs and think they are clever. A spez model of business where whoever can bend over and let the most be shoved up their anal cavity is rewarded the most. Hate the word, but literal definition of a cuck. Watching other people fuck your website over while sitting on a giant assplug.

Dude just say shill. The nature of the sub attracts shills the smarter ones can blow past shill posts and get the meat. Yea it's crappy but don't take everything personally.

Dude examine the downvote barrage in the imugr link. They obviously were triggered the second i posted. Excuse me for trying to avoid possible trigger words.

My shill post is doing pretty well...

Couls you link it for me?

Comments on my post which was much smaller than this one got more upvotes than that yet the overall post remained at 1

They obviously were triggered the second i posted

Classic conspiracy mindset.

They're all upvoting me, I must be right!

or

They're all furiously downvoting me, I must be right!

Pretty aggressive disagreement. Why am i wrong? I bring charts and many solid points and arguments to the table. You bring matter-o-fact doubt and negativity.

I would accept defeat in the face of a reasonable explanation for a reddit post hitting the top of rising with 20 positive comments interested in the subject matter with additional charts showing it was downvoted within seconds of EVERY SINGLE upvote for its entire early life. Does that make any sense why would i have so many aggressive down voters and none of them come into the comments to refute me?

Agree. Need HUMAN interaction here to prevent destruction of the best threads.

Come on! Stop looking at comments and read the OP threads and make some judgment calls about what should be rising and what shouldn't.

MODS! WE need you NOW more than ever!

Im afraid the mods are hanging us out to dry i got a call to action post deleted over the caps rule and directly asked the mod twice why a caps rule was more important than the issue at hand and their silence was deafening.

I'll bite, but fyi I didn't see this yesterday. Why couldn't you have just reposted with the headline formatted in a way that complied with our rules? Were you not notified of the removal and reason?

I was and i said it was fair but i also asked the mod if the behavior displayed on my post was not much more damaging to this sub than the "capslock rule" and got no response

In our defense, sometimes things get lost in the shuffle. I do my best to respond to any user concerns over a decision I make, but I've probably taken action on over 50 posts in the queue just since I woke up. That will turn into at least angry 10 replies, on top of whatever other mail I get. I can only speak for myself, but if I ever do anything that you feel is important to discuss, ping my username in a response. It really sticks out.

I just have a bad feeling about this sub now. I feel that sanitized distraction topics are being pushed. So our communities our online think tanks of 4chan and reddit can feel like their making progress but really every day the deep state is making powerplays based on unimaginable dats collected from our thinktanks look at /r/askreddit who decides which of those posts get high up? They know everything about us and and we know nothing about them and guess what even if they dont know you if you get close they can watch you through your webcam turn on your phone mic track your gps see everything on your computer and phone. This is easy for them

We are in a dark cell yelling at an adversary wearing night vision goggles.

I dunno, there is a lot and give and take. This is definitely an information war, and this sub is ground zero.

PIZZAGATE, is what they are hiding.

Its likely pizzagate was designed flawed from the beginning so it could be publicly dismantled.

What does that even mean? Podesta put references to pizza in his emails then let himself get hacked in the hopes that the alt-right would put fake puzzle pieces together? That's incredibly convoluted.

Who is the "alt-right"? Its a movement with very few names but many internet identities. It would be a trivial matter to piece together a fake user even craft a credible digital backstory from which to put forth "discoveries" and "leaks" which gain a movement and the traces of legitimacy that originally created the groups is mixed and combined with lab tested dis info so that it can be displayed as 1 and the MSM can "debunk" it. I believe pizzagate was rife with truths but i believe it was corrupted internally with red herrings and double agents look at fucking Sabu the leader of the seal team 6 of anons was a fucking informant for the Government. Internal corruption is the MO of the cabal.

If there was any truth to it, wouldn't there be at least one credible journalist, one investigator, one cop that would fine something? The only thing that pizzagate led to was the shooting of a pizza parlor.

Shooting was obviously an artificially created excuse to neuter the PG community and associate the people interested in it with extremism

An artificially created excuse?? A diehard pizzagate conspiracy theorist did that, or do you think the PTB have an infinite supply of perfectly loyal soldiers willing to shoot up pizza parlors? Nothing you're saying makes any sense.

You mean walk in to a pizza shop and shoot the ground once and then that bullet magically hits their computer harddrive? At least know the topic you are berating because it only adds to the disinformation surrounding the topic.

Nothing I've read on it has ever indicated the number of shots or referenced any computer damage. Source?

https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/12/04/man-with-rifle-arrested-at-comet-ping-pong/

Acting DC Police Chief Peter Newsham told reporters Sunday evening that Welch walked into Comet Ping Pong and did fire at least one shot into the ground. Police added that the Welch’s car is registered in North Carolina.

https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/12/05/comet-ping-pong-police-report-edgar-maddison-welch/

Police seized a folding knife and three guns from the scene, including a Colt .38 handgun, a Colt AR-15 rifle, and a shotgun. Two of the guns were found on the alleged gunman and one was recovered in a vehicle, according to police. The restaurant suffered at least $1,000 worth of damage to a door, door lock, computer tower, and barrier wall.

Heres Alefantis himself saying and showing the computer that he claims the bullet entered

Ok, yes, certain elements of this story don't add up, particularly the "one bullet to the floor" causing "$1000 worth of damage". It's also weird that this Alefantis, college dropout, restaurant owner has been invited to the Whitehouse.

With the damage, I think that it's way more likely that they are trying to commit insurance fraud and get a new door, computer, etc, than them having a pedophilia ring.

For the Whitehouse invite, I suppose that if Alefantis has donated tons of cash that would make sense, although it's kind of unethical.

If this was a cover-up of pedophilia, then you'd have to assume Obama, the DC police, Podesta, Clinton, the traffickers, the abusers, everybody would have to be in on it and sworn to secrecy. We're talking about dozens of people, they would all have to be extremely loyal, secretive, competent. No leakers could be allowed, no evidence of child abuse could be shared, etc. It seems like this very large organization would require an extraordinary amount of professionalism to avoid FBI detection, and that makes it extremely unlikely. Unless you think the FBI is also full of pedophiles, but at that point if you believe that what is there left to believe in?

Well I was just answering your question. I didn't even finish the whole video I was just answering about the gun shot. If you want to read about a way that this all fits together in a real life scenario, read the banned for no reason topic and discovery of the Art for embassies program. Which just so happens to be able to bypass all customs and formal cargo investigating through transportation. Also along with the fact that art is known to be infiltrated by the CIA and a great way to launder money.

But even posting this link will probably be deleted

Is that because it contains PI? Are you essentially admitting deliberately posting PI that we've had to remove in the past already?

No I was just stating the reason you said to remove it and it doesn't contain PI. Why don't you take a look through it. If the name of an owner of a business is PI then congrats on the blatant censorship.

See, the problem is I only had to scroll down to the comments to find this comment, so I return the favour and ask you to now go through that link then follow it's sub-links too and if there's any PI in it I get my account suspended by the admins again. Perhaps you should appreciate that we don't just have to answer to you guys, I don't like it either but it is what it is.

Big lie

Which part?

Go to wikipede, murdur of SR, the article. Find the statement that has citation 5 attached to it. Read the NY times opinion piece that is cited.

You haven't done your research then. Ben Swann attempted to report on it and was immediately silenced.

Unfortunately they are scaling back. That ex-infowars dude really gave it to them good.

Comey gonna testify. Hopefully RATM style. If not. Hey maybe he clears DJT soon.

the entire conspiracy subculture has been compromised for a good decade at this point.

Read up on Vladislav Surkov.

Reddit has no credibility left to undermine. Ignore the obvious shills and keep forging ahead.

If you're interested in these topics OP, get at me. We've set up a specific subreddit for this subject in particular. The problems are incredibly vast and complex.

I wonder if another strategy is to actually upvote a certain post, then fill the comments section with content critical of said post and upvote the shit out of the nasty comments. Have to admit, plenty of that going on here.

Exactly controlling the narrative of any thing posted not necessarily just their basic propaganda. Reddit is a top 10 website.

Consliracy have become the_donald.

Every post concern a liberal, Trump his crownies and republicans are barely even mentioned.

A funny example : Trump don't even register all his visitors on the white house visitor logs, now that's some conspiracy materials, but what do the Trumpet do ? They take a visitor log from Obama era where some democrats big names visiter the white house and say it's a proof for i don't know what nonsense lol.

The bias here is bigger than the Trump Tower.

Since TD grew past 50k people the cirklejerk got far worse. I still enjoy some of the people there, but the level of groupie-level admiration for a man NONE of them know is borderlining on fullblown SJW retardation.

Ironic that they slowly become what they hate.

I would say it surpassed SJW retardation months ago.

I was banned from t_d for disagreeing with someone. I may have been wrong, but I wasn't nasty. And it was after 1 or 2 posts. And this was probably 8 months before the election.

The place is the ultimate safe space. It has been full on SJW retarded for probably at least a year.

I got banned because after I asked a question a cuck mod searched my post history and got triggered.

To be fair, Obama could just ask SS to leave certain visits off the log but I don't like our sliding further away from transparency. The press has again become the White House visitor log.

This isnt about Trump and honestly id apreciate it if you focused on the matter at hand. Someome is burying posts and covering up the curation of the front page. Who knows how many users are actually here in relation to bots. Somethings going on the mods are trying to cover it up

This is great, this is the same shit that would happen prior to the election when people on reddit would troll your history and find out that you posted on conspiracy. "This guy posts on r/conspiracy, he's a nut." It's good to see old tactics still work.

What you're seeing with reddit insight is vote fuzzing. It's part of reddit's backend. Essentially, rather than report the actual number of votes a post has received, it returns the actual vote count plus or minus a small randomized number, roughly proportional to the total votes. So if a post has about 10 points, if you keep refreshing the page, it will display between 8 and 1. If it has about 1000 points, it might show between 900 and 1100.

Reddit's ostensible reason for this is to prevent shadowbanned vote bots from knowing they're shadowbanned. I don't really buy that, but that's their reasoning. That's not to say there aren't vote bots operating on this sub, but your screenshots aren't proving that.

If you want to demonstrate this to yourself, go find a submission from a couple months ago, one that has a percent-upvoted between say 55-95% and run reddit insight on it. Pick a relatively benign and low-traffic sub that you would expect vote manipulation. You'll notice the same pattern, where the votes seem to fluctuate around a given point.

At that point, you have to consider two options: there are voting bots voting on months-old posts in low-traffic subs, on issues that no one cares about; or what you're seeing is just vote fuzzing.

Can you delete threads like this? Or clarify the rules?

Sick of the front page being flooded with people writing posts about things they know nothing about.

your post history shows you have only been scowering through and commenting in r/conspiracy how sick can you fuckin be?

Yea, because this is my only account. You've only been here a year, what business have you commenting? See?

Why not counter the argument instead of reverting to a clichéd cop out?

And your post history says you've only been active in conspiracy for a day, and all of your posts have been complaining about "shills" along with having a year old account with unverified email and only has been active posting anywhere for a month.

So you think that the OP is lying? Please point out whats said thats incorrect?

I didn't say conspiracy wasn't compromised, I just think it is compromised in the other direction.

Can you tell me why there is no fuzzing on this new post on r/funny but there is immediate fuzzing on new post in r/rconspiracy? Why is there such a discrepancy between the two post, both were in rising and around the same stats yet the votes are dramatically different. I feel like it's an attack on the sub as a whole. If the whole sub is being systematically downvoted can you guys "disable" downvotes or can bot go around that too?

Disabling downvotes would be the worst possible thing for this sub. As for r/funny im assuming that's because nothing there is actually funny so everything sinks to about -3 and then doesn't get looked at again.

There's two issues I have with reddit insight for doing what you want it to do: the labels on the x-axis are ill-defined, and it doesn't show how long it's been between when the post was made, and when it started collecting data.

Reddit vote fuzzing is somewhat ill-defined itself. Reddit's own FAQ says it's not happening how I described, but a simple perusal of months-old posts seem to confirm that it is. Being ill-defined, there are a few issues with bringing in no-context insight graphs. Apparently, vote fuzzing only begins a certain amount of time after a post is created, and after a certain numbers of upvotes.

You say there's immediate fuzzing on the /r/conspiracy post, but because reddit insight doesn't show when it started tracking, your screenshot doesn't actually show that. On the /r/funny post, it does look like there is fuzzing on the right-hand side of the graph, and the time scale you sampled is also much smaller.

Redditor for 7 days, shits on every post....how much do they pay you?

Its flawed then. Explain how i can garner 20 interested comments and multiple posts thereafter all of which showing the community is interested and yet for every upvote i got on that first post i was immediately downvoted i didnt break 2 karma for over an hour despite healthy discussion and being at the top of rising

That makes no sense especially considering many comments within my post supporting the topic had more upvotes than the post itself.

20 comments? Sounds like you're just upset people don't like your posts more and want to blame it on a conspiracy.

Did you read the topic and look at the links? It WAS a liked post but for some reason it was artificially held at exactly 50% downvotes for its entire life. No one came and refuted or disagreed with my point

The List of Shill Bot Downvoters https://imgur.com/a/8sOoS

Look at these voting patterns your saying i had an exactly 50/50 split of people upvoting and downvoting seconds after the upvote?

Theres even normal vote patterns to compare my vote to.

Reddit's ostensible reason for this is to prevent shadowbanned vote bots from knowing they're shadowbanned.

Which is idiotic, since all a bot has to do is logout and see if its posts disappear.

The idea is that it's for countering vote bots, which theoretically wouldn't be posting much. Still, their justification is idiotic, as you can check if an account is banned simply by going to their user page. This can be completely automated with a "bot watcher" account.

Redditor for 7 days, shits on every post....how much do they pay you?

Why is the score hidden on your comment?

And why is the whole comment thread of un replied to concerns about this mods explanations minimized?

That's how sticky comments on reddit work.

What's with saying "shi1ls" instead of "shills"? Have they already banned saying the actual word shills?!

yes its one of the rules for this sub

I was asking if merely bringing up the topic of shilling will get you banned, and if so, why have they not included that in their list of rules. I understand that certain groups may have forced the rule to not personally call out shills, so that the shill organization can better operate stealthily, but I was asking if saying the word "shill" itself is forbidden, because it appears that the OP was afraid to do so.

The post is discussing how my post on shills was auto downvoted to remain at 1 karma despite 20 positive comments with 5+ karma each.

I wanted to protect from setting off automatic downvotes from trigger words

You're allowed to talk about shills, you're just not allowed to directly accuse someone of being a shill.

The whole internet has been compromises since the internet's operation core was relocated to geneva. Be warned, the fema camps will be coming soon and they can track every non-government plant user in this sub and purge them.

How soon?

Hahahaha. Yes Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus, and also conspiracy sites that aren't run by shills (one way or another).

Amen this has become a right wing circle jerk. For wing nut half baked ideas about how Obama is a demon or Clinton is an alien. Few have anything bad to say about trump and the ones who do are buried by the shit post garbage. There are still a lot of great users here but they are buried. This is insane. Divide and conquer.

Oh I feel you dude. One of top comments on a higher up post in this sub is from a 9 day old account whose activity is in /r/the_donald and /r/conspiracy. If that isn't a blatant attempt to discredit us by association then I don't know what is. Mods should delete and ban accounts that are so blatantly shills or bots. It's really not that hard to notice the characteristics either.

You want to ban anyone who post in "the_donald"? The flipside of that is you would also have to ban anyone who post in "politics" since it's pretty much the neoliberal reflection.

I'm saying that there are multiple criteria being met to identify it as a fake account. 9 days old, strictly activity in those two subs, very high karma, and the stuff that is posted is very biblical/fringe theories that make the person look crazy.

Very true guilt by association is a common tactic look at the PG shooting. Gave an excuse to neuter the community. Look at SR all this talk of the family being "cyberbullied". Thats probably the next tactic pull some shit on the family to give them an excuse to clamp down on it without looking suspicious.

just a quick shoutout to the Jericho reference bro

It's worse than that. Peoples comments were being changed for them the other day. Also, the shills one were altered without signs of editing. It created an illusion that me and a couple of other redditors were arguing stupid points that we actually weren't. I believe a couple of the mods at least are aware of this. That day, I also learned that a couple of the mods are actually good guys which gave me a little bit of hope. I also now have renewed determination.

On the good side it shows how afraid they are of Reality. Go on being a free thinker they can't take that away from you.

Voat seems kind of neutral but i guess you really dont know if you're talking a hillshillbot900 or a dog behind that username

An artificially created excuse?? A diehard pizzagate conspiracy theorist did that, or do you think the PTB have an infinite supply of perfectly loyal soldiers willing to shoot up pizza parlors? Nothing you're saying makes any sense.
