I remember reading years ago about some corrupt mod in one of the image subreddits - he or his friend had started some image hosting site and had six different Reddit accounts that he used to upvote posts that used his site and downvote all other posts. It took people a long while to notice what he was up to.
the Unidan incident?
iirc it only got noticed at the time because of an argument between him and Ecka6 which led to the somewhat famous "here's the thing you said a jackdaw is a crow" copypasta
According to Reddit lore, that was coincidental. The jackdaw/crow thread was simply his last pre-ban comment:

Unidan doesn't fit the description. It must have been a different incident.
And now automate and scale that with Claude/OpenAI/Gemini/whatever. It's insidious and terrible.
Why would you need an LLM to automate that?
