The hell is vote brigading? Upvoting posts on their own subreddit? What, because of pinned posts or something? So what? That's literally a system anybody could have taken advantage of.

Yes it is a system anyone could have taken advantage of, but they didn't, because they didn't have the kind of advanced autism needed to think spamming the frontpage would have no repercussions. Thedonald members certainly had the right to upvote pinned posts, but mods have the right to create new main subreddits to accommodate popular opinion. And currently, popular opinion is that thedonald should not be representative of reddit

They quite obviously use bots to spam /r/all. The purpose of reddit isn't to "take advantage of systems" to spam the most users with garbage propaganda.
