Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's been so surface level, basic and pseudo inspirational for years
for real!! i browsed it a few years ago and like all of the mental health posts were as good as those 'your life int a movie dont end it' youtube comments
People finally find a place to be happy and bots come and ruin it. I hate robots.
Be better: hate the humans who deployed the bots.
Be better: hate the system that incentivizes deploying bots.
I've got enough hate for everything.
Lmk if y'all need any extra, I'm seethin' over here
I'd estimate as much as 50% of the entire community left on Reddit are bots. I've seen people being downvoted systemically, just for saying completely ordinary things that aren't even controversial.
A meme is by definition a repost though. The reuse is literally what makes it a meme.
Back in the 90s there was an article about some “spam king” guy who was blasting out millions of emails and basically crushing mail servers and making inboxes useless. They interviewed him and he was all indignant about it like “I have the right to do this” and all that.
That is when I knew the internet and humanity was doomed from the start.
There's a Wikipedia page about him:
He looks exactly as I envisioned him
Mr Dink????
where is image from?
plus, if you're going to break the law, there are plenty of better images to choose from
biggest version i could find, suspiciously photo has top of hair cropped
tip: if there's no copyright notice, that means that you CANNOT use the image
that's fine, copyright law is stupid
Other than bots, who else is even still on Reddit...? :-P It's bots interacting with bots, all the way down.
I would be but I'm banned for no reason lol
Most of reddit seems to be bots posts now, or reddit employees. They shot themselves in the chest when they did their greedy deeds.
