I used to notice that criticizing Amazon on Reddit was a way to quickly get a ton of downvotes, as if an active party was trying to stamp out negativity. I heard about an active social media team that stamps out negativity. Not sure if it’s true, but I can’t rule it out either.

What subreddit? Because neither on HN nor Reddit, I ever see anything positive about Amazon.

Can’t really remember to be honest, this was a while ago 5/6 years, so maybe things changed. Probably some news subreddits I followed then.

Reddit is pretty much controlled by PR company bots. It's not surprising that they sometimes overdo it.

You have by any chance any resources on how they operate and research into this?

Thanks for the article, so I actually searched “reputation management” and there is actually a subreddit for this, active till two years ago. Crazy really that this can happen.

Wow! How is this legal. It feels like manipulation and fraud.
