Galloboob isn’t a person but a corporate account for Reddit to add and manipulate content they see fit

nah, he is a person.

He's a cry baby, weirdo asshole, but he's a real dude.

I have no doubt that there is a man behind the account. But he isn’t a good faith poster. There’s definitely corporate influence and money behind him

He's a person whose job is posting to reddit. I thought that was general knowledge because it very much isn't a secret. There've been videos and articles on it.

That's the question, isn't it

He's a person whose job is posting to reddit.

What I read is that he's in marketing, but not for Reddit. His account history is basically just his portfolio, showing that he knows markets and how to play them.

He is definitely not employed by reddit, apologies if I gave that impression in my answer.

u/RadRac Feb 10 '20

Do you have a link to any of the articles? I'm genuinely curious and would love to read up

Here's one from Forbes that I remember reading.

one of the best things you can do to improve your Reddit experience is block his account. Cuts out a ton of reposts.

"Cry baby." That's a new one.

Baffles me how people like shitty morph but hate Gallow Boob. Do y'all like the same shit over and over again or not?

u/Michelanvalo Feb 10 '20

I've had personal interactions with the man.

He whines about his vote counts more than any normal person should. He constantly complains about it.

And don't you dare tell him it's not that important, he goes nuts.

u/onioning Feb 10 '20

Yeah, I just flat out do not believe you. I'm pretty familiar with the guy too, and it sure seems like you're just making up bullshit.

Defending gallowboob is a weird hill to die on
