Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news (redlib.tiekoetter.com)

Whelp. It appears I am a robot. I guess I don't get to find out what my fellow boys are up to. smh.

(Edit).. apparently I can't even spell "bots" correctly. I'm failing all the tests today.

The entirety of Reddit is astroturfed lol. Has been for years.

It's really, really obvious, too. I don't have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.

Sometimes I just know about the eminence of the launch of something because of the crap memes about it that start to flood Reddit. Then I see my non-reddit friends sharing it from other sources.

Obvious gorilla marketing is obvious, but people fall in droves.

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
