This sub doesnt feel right today.

84  2017-11-10 by Johnny_Oldschool

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but the types of content I'm seeing posted right now feels off. Stories which haven't had any traction in months are suddenly flooding the sub.

Seems off.

63 comments

Example?

The pattern of content posting doesn't feel organic to me, in a way that is different from the usual.

Not enough beating the dead Hillary horse if you ask me.

I don't think that will ever get old. Lock her up!

And don't give me that "she's a private citizen" bullshit!

It is off.

P-Gate threads proliferate.

Pro-pedo-bots are standing down.

Sth Rch theories are being resurrected.

It is happening.

When they flagged down the anti-pedo bots, they forgot to reprogram them to cite family guy/simpson theories.

Why didn't you spell Seth Rich? Do you honestly think you're avoiding some kind of list? Spoiler: you're already on the lists.

Shills/bots are definitely triggered by certain keywords. You won't and being put on some "list" by doing what they did, but they might be able to avoid attention from professional trolls.

That makes sense but if they're professional they probably just wait for this kind of thing to get posted and respond to comments. As for the bots, I'd imagine they figured out to look for misspellings by now.

Do you mean the list of people who have not gotten sick from eating an Arby's Roast Beef sandwich with fried onions?

Because I'm not on that one.

I do seem to be on the list of people who own a 2011 Jeep Liberty, whose warranty expired, and is eligible to buy a new warranty for $39.95 a month.

I think I would rather be on the Illuminati's list of the top 10,000 shit-posters on Reddit than the third-party car warranty sales call list, as I doubt the Illuminati/NSA/CIA/Rand Corporation/Tri-Lateral Commission would have such brazen disregard for the National Do-Not-Call Registry as the Third-Party-Car-Warranty Cabal seems to have.

I think its the lack of bots today. These stories are always here, but they are usually drowned out by the botspam.

This is literally the opposite of what I believe is happening.

Perhaps the tactic has changed today. I was tracking the bots yesterday. When you look at their post history you see that they aren't real people. They just post an article to a dozen subreddits every 5 minutes. Then 5 minutes later they post a different article to the same dozen subreddits. They never comment or reply to comments on their posts.

If you look at the histories of today's shitposters they are in the trenches fighting for the crazy illuminati/jew/alien shit they believe. They could still be trolls, but they sound more like delusional people. They are definitely real humans either way.

Manufactured distraction threads

Out of all the comments here this is the one I feel most in agreement with.

Isn't that called forum dilution or something? Oh here, found it:

Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION'

Topic dilution is not only effective in forum sliding it is also very useful in keeping the forum readers on unrelated and non-productive issues. This is a critical and useful technique to cause a 'RESOURCE BURN.' By implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity. If the intensity of gradual dilution is intense enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a 'gossip mode.' In this state they can be more easily misdirected away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion. The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in. It must be stressed that a proper assessment of the psychological capabilities and levels of education is first determined of the group to determine at what level to 'drive in the wedge.' By being too far off topic too quickly it may trigger censorship by a forum moderator.

Damn thanks for posting

Sauce?

It took me ages to find a good one

Am now hungry.

It's part of the oft referred to "Gentleperson's Guide to Forum Spies" which someone originally posted somewhere sometime.

If you want to see some bots and shills, question Mueller's integrity. Holy smokes.

I swear the only time I've run into people here who I am certain are bots/shills is when I have questioned the DNC or the Russia narrative...and heaven forbid you do both in the same thread!

"Anyone with different views is a bot or shill!"

Is there a list of acceptable opinions that we're allowed to hold to avoid being called a shill? Maybe we could sticky it?

If you had seen the threads I was talking about you would understand. They were all hostile, they used the same terminology, they were all new accounts, and their post histories were nothing but defending the DNC...utterly transparent. I'm cool with people having different opinions but if you don't realize there are real shills prowling these forums I don't know what to tell you.

Agreed. Would’ve thought it was a quiet day. Twitter was also off. Had to pull up timelines... seemed like nothing was in my home feed.

Today?

I'd say in the last 24 hours.

Agree.

I’m fairly new but yeah. I️ agree. I wasn’t sure if mods were locking down discussions or people weren’t posting. It’s quiet. It’s random things. Maybe I’m just missing something?

Way too quiet. Nothing 'new' here today except for the Louis CK story.

I haven't felt an on day here is years.

Maybe the shill money dried up after the KSA arrests

Time for the daily meta thread.

Its just posting cycles it happens every so often.

There are a lot of new accounts posting smear threads.

Yessir. I spotted it specifically today too. They want us fixated on celebrities who grabbed a little ass here and there, and there's also elements of message control being slipped in, positing misleading associations as given fact.

The 11-15 day old accounts all have the same talking points

Pizzagate is fantasy

Hillary is old news

Trump likes getting pissed on

ANON are all fake.

It’s really strange.

Really though, who of us here can say we don't like getting pissed on? :p

Me

Hahahaha

Wasn't there some leaked emails from Hillary/Podesta where they talked about the short attention span and therefore limited lifecycle of negative news stories?

I've noticed the complete opposite...

Almost like anybody who doesn't agree with you guys gets labeled a shill.

That sounds like shill talk to me. Laughs

Agreed.

it is slack tide - lv was a watershed for posters while it lasted. the old stories are old bait of hungry monetizers - some of the numerology people think new years will be interesting time.

Valid theory.

You know something's wrong when the sub does feel right.

Something is fucking weird. There are over 5k active users at 11:30pm EST.

I've seen that happen though when certain posts reach other subs. It's hard for me to tell if traffic is natural or not.

When you watch the ebb and flow of information closely sometimes things feel off in a way you can't quite put your finger on. Something in your center knows something's off.

I feel sorry for those who are shilling their lives away at r/conspiracy at the behest of elite satanic pedophiles. The people they are protecting would most likely have them murdered just so they could smoke their pineal gland if they weren't able to get it from an unborn fetus.

Why was I downvoted for this comment... Though it may not seem like it I was being serious (albeit hyperbolic), check my post history and fuck the New World Order.

There's been heavy astroturf for months. Today in particular doesn't seem unusual to me with that in mind.

r/karmabots

The shills are in full force today. Pizza/pedogate is being proven true and now shills are saying it's all trump fans who believed in pizzagate...? what?

that thread on moore is FULL of shills

Yeah, it's not being proven true, though. That's just delusional thinking.

The thread on moore is full of pedo apologists. I doubt they're being paid though. That sounds a little paranoid.

Why is there always these threads but op can't even explain what he means. God forbid he actually explain himself

I did.

noticed this as well.

$18 billion buys a lot of shills

I don't think that will ever get old. Lock her up!
