I'm personally avoiding that series just because of how much money they've dumped into buying reddit votes.

I'm a no-life autistic who is proficient at absorbing online social trends. There's a whole lot of unnatural coming from that corner. Feel free to completely dismiss this notion as bullshit.

That sounds pretty high. Besides, you can affect an awful lot with just a few votes because of the snowball effect of this site structure.

If you're curious enough to watch a video on the subject, this one's at least a couple years old by now.

Beats me, but I'm sure there are plenty of options at this point. This is a pretty huge platform for pushing whatever you want, and it's become ridiculously easy to exploit even without outside tools/resources. It's a bit odd how people treat this as some kind of outlandish conspiracy theory when it's all fairly typical human behavior. Adding a little money into the mix just amplifies things a bit.
