View submission: Update regarding user profile transparency

View parent comment

SrGrafo is a perfect example of what has gone wrong with reddit. Builds "botnet" of users by using a subscribe bot to effectively brigade every post he makes. Gives time for the site to build his following, introduces his website and then starts selling merchandise. Redditors - hook, line and sinker. I guess this is what the admins want though ever since they introduced posting to a user's page and not just subreddits that are curated and maintained.

And honestly I don't get the appeal. His comics aren't particularly clever and the art style isn't anything special. It looks like each comic is made from conception to finish in about 60 seconds or less.

Yup. Thing is, he's not even all that funny or interesting most of the time, yet everything be makes is upvoted to fuck. It's like gaming the Reddit market, almost.
