    Good evidence of astroturfing on Reddit. That Reddit took action and banned the Palantir agents only provides evidence that exposure of the op is the problem. Not evidence that Reddit acts in good faith.

      Put me in my place if this is nonsense but doesn’t it make way more sense if the astroturfing is done by WSB goons? I just don’t see corporate entities coordinating this kind of thing

        The top hits for my “WSB” search are:

        • World Sports Betting

        • r/WallStreetBets

        • World Superbikes

        I don’t think any of their goons are astroturfing (well, maybe World Superbikes). Did you mean a different entity?

          Sorry I thought this was more common, it’s definitely wall Street bets
