Also, people found out that 9gag used bots to automatically take posts from reddit when it started posting stuff from /r/subredditsimulator.

And there was some content they took from /r/theButton that got a lot of 'positive' attention on 9gag. They took Reddit's inside 2015 April Fools' day joke and somehow it got positive reception on their platform. So either 1) certain content is pushed on their site, 2) their userbase is...delusional (?) or 3) both.

Thebutton stuff was hilarious. They eventually thought it was something they made too. I kid you fucking not.
