> For crying out loud, even China has a large presence/narrative control of Reddit and from a userbase perspective, Ghislaine Maxwell [1] has been controlling the narrative on Reddit for years [2].

Can you explain this to me please (genuine question)?

Ghislaine is a prolific redditor and has a million karma points or something. I think the OP was referring to that.

[1] Critical posts of China like Tiananmen Square are censored on Reddit. There are many others.

[2] The most influential account and moderator on Reddit, maxwellhill, has been inactive since the moment Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s friend, was detained. Interestingly, the username coincides with Ghislaines life.

Coincidentally, Ghislaine Maxwell was raised in a news family who controlled most of the media you and I have read for decades.

Someone who controls the narrative in mainstream would understand the importance of Reddit.

Some of this may be valid, but you don't have to go very far to disprove your first point. A picture critical of Chinese investment in Reddit is in the Top 10 posts of all time on one of the biggest subreddits, r/pics [1]
