We keep hearing this and I keep being called a robot on reddit. I dont know man, some people have weird opinions, some facts are displeasing and journalistic incompetence does the rest.

Reddit is particularly tricky to manipulate one single way because it is compatible with completely opposed political groups cohabiting. So what you call manipulation that you dislike can just as well be compensated by an exageration on the opposite side in another sub.

The only thing reddit cannot do is appeased, neutral discussion but that s true of many groups where opposing sides meet.
