redcafe2··on Why is there so much [deleted] on Reddit, they clearly didn't delete themselves?
Nope. Usually it happens in chains. Multiple comments in the same thread one after another get deleted. Sub comments etc.

Reddit mods can also give comments hundreds of upvotes with a button. So they lock threads and make it look justified by giving the top comments disagreeing with the thread hundreds of upvotes.

Reddit moderators have the power to artificially boost comments with hundreds of upvotes, shaping and controlling public opinion deliberately.

I once made a thread titled "Is Spotify Just Porn for the Ears?" discussing the dangers of mindless dopamine consumption. It started going viral, with hundreds of comments pouring in within minutes. All of the top-voted comments agreed with my points, sparking a detailed and insightful discussion.

Then, the moderators stepped in. They locked the thread. Almost immediately, comments disagreeing with my post were suddenly showered with hundreds of upvotes.

From that moment on, anyone stumbling upon the thread would see a locked discussion with the most upvoted comments disagreeing with me - making the moderators' decision appear justified.

Draw your own conclusions.

I'm still wondering what it was about the thread they did not want the public to discuss. What exactly triggered them and is on their list of keywords or topics to censure. I remember I mentioned something about dopamine being in gland in the brain, and if you use it up, the gland gets emptied. Then you feel low. So you should let the gland fill up and feel high all the time. Avoid using it up.

That dopamine does not get "downregulated" and all this nonsense about "rewiring" neurons etc was junk science and i backed it up strong with references and ideas. Anyway, Reddit has a monopoly and the mods are a bunch of marxist incels trying to stop people talking about loads of stuff like carnivore diets, like how auto immune disease is caused by fungal infections mostly in the gut.... so what can we do. Marxists hate humanity and probably even themselves.
