[Meta] is it common to open a subreddit just for a single post like this one?
Given the other comments pointing to the SEO benefits of creating a subreddit just for a single post, it has shades of an effort to seed the information space and shape the narrative in advance of the tax fight by gaming the search results prior to uninformed journalists and legislative aids developing an interest in the topic, many of whom will search Google for background information and context as the tax fight plays out.
Nice catch, and interesting regardless of the motives.
Is this person SEO scamming? I don’t know for sure, but the subject matter is the same that I frequently see frontpaged from /r/FluentInFinance by obvious bots, although the motive seems to be political rather than commercial.
