I've seen some minimum wage discussions on general topic forums (e.g. news) where the top 40-50 comments were vehemently against raising it.

I suspect these were driven by bot votes.

Any "funny" picture with a well known brand obviously placed in it? Definitely.

By contrast thes (the current top 2 posts) seem pretty organic to me though:

source?

what makes these more organic than the ones in "general topic forums"? Is it just because "well obviously most people would be pro-minimum wage, therefore any comment that's for minimum wage is organic and any that's against is bots"
