I just found out that those pages to buy votes exist, I knew that bots and stuff existed, but I thought it was something more "hidden", from 4 cents per vote, it doesn't surprise me that the site is completely going down the toilet

it’s so essy to make a bot too. And reddit is earning loads through the API so they don’t bother to stop it.

You dont even need api for upvote farming
Its like 3 lines of selenium

If you do it en masse, reddit detects it and sends your account a warning. It’s purposefully built to make you use the API.

In some impoverished regions, vote farming is an important (and sometimes only) source of some people's income. Create account, upvote post, dozens or hundreds of times a day. They get paid slave wages, if at all.
