Is there some sort of memological tipping point happening on reddit? /r/conspiracy is doing really well lately, apparently. Are the votes organic, is it suspicious or a sign of positive change?

I suspect that the shill and propaganda people have stopped. I dont know why, but in my mind that would explain why things actually seem real. Also other subreddits seem to be getting a lot of traction for real news post.

I've had the same thought, for whatever that's worth. Who turned off the faucet? Are the shills on strike? Did Russia launch some sort of atomic super-shill program? Are the shills regrouping after some major defeat? Like they realized their tactics were self-defeating?

I don't know.. I had the same thought. Did the dam break? Where did the shills and vote-bots go? I'm not sure..
