Reddit was already gaining a lot of clout as a public platform. Around that time was when Bannon leveraged reddit influence to drive the Bernie bros and incels to Trump.
I’m guessing that’s when the world stage really took notice of reddit as a tool for political influence.
Yea I do remember the donald, they weren’t really incel though, just a political sub if i am not wrong. Incels had their own subs as well that got purged at the time along with many ones as well. What was good about Reddit back then was that the platform allowed freedom to a large extent, didn’t bother as long as it wasn’t something in your face that violated the rules, either that, or they didn’t care back then.
