From the dates it looks like even you gave up on your own platform. Don't you know, when reddit started, the admins had a "username" box when they were submitting new posts, so they would type in fake usernames and make it look like the site had a lot of users.

If you were starting something like that today you might have GPT-3 write the posts. That's one case where you really might not care if it is right or wrong.
