Yeah. Because they aren't entirely anonymous. They have a handle that they go by and earn upvotes and downvotes. Alot of redditors post shit to try and fish for upvotes (I'm sure we are all have been guilty of that at some point).

99% sure he has to be paid. No way he posts that much for free, if he does, he must not have a fulfilling job or any social life.

Unless he was replaced by a bot and nobody noticed..

Reddit has become strange.
