The entirety of CryptoMoonShots is scams and spam that use vote manipulation to gain visibility. It is run by a single mod (big red flag) that uses the subreddit as a vehicle to sell access to private pump and dumps, which violates reddit's monetization rules.
How many people have been scammed out of money because of subreddits like this one? How long until this is dealt with? Many reputable people in crypto have reported this many times. It's so bad I thought it must be a honeypot but I don't see any admin actions in 2021 on it or the scammers who post there (and then to legitimate subreddits)
Reddit is doing a lot of work with crypto to become a big player in the space. Why would they want their reputation undercut by platforming this garbage?

can you define "content manipulation" more clearly when it comes to this? is mass scripted reposting content manipulation, even if it's on-topic where it's posted? because it seems like reddit corporate has no interest in proactively catching the spambots, only reactively dealing with them after they start spamming.

Are you removing accounts who say something along the lines of
Great project!
And get probably upvoted by other bots to gain karma and then spam all the crypto subs with their coins? Those are obvious scams. Just look at older posts >2 Months and see that their website has gone missing.
Just search for Shiba on any subreddit, scroll a bit down and check if you can still access their linked website where they show a roadmap etc.
