Hey gatsby, you don't need to use a throwaway to keep asking this question.
NYRD[1] is a real thing (New York R&D, get it?), but Alexis asked us to let him do his own unveiling announcement sometime soon. It has nothing to do with PR or spamming though, but is another project of Alexis's that is unrelated to reddit — similar to how his other projects like Breadpig[2] have been unrelated to reddit.
Can we lay this to rest now?

you know you've become infamous when the core admin staff can pick you out despite using throwaways. And no, that is not a good thing.

Hey Yishan, thanks for your time and for an answer that has been many months in the making :).
Erik or someone banned every account I ever had after I started asking questions in the magnet thread. I've actually gone by many names on here; but you can call me gatsby, sure.
We can lay it to rest sure (although Alexis living very close to some of the biggest mods of this site is of concern when it comes to "R and D", obviously), and sorry if I fucked up anything for n0thing with regards his announcement (and yes, nyrd is a great pun). I won't say anything else about that until he does.
But will I stop watching reddit for nefarious content manipulation? No.
Personally I think you should make me the SEO sheriff...let people report possible manipulation to me, I'll keep everything private under an NDA, and I'll be in your corner until the next migration :).
