      It’s public record but it doesn’t take much effort to obfuscate it’s happening. That’s why reddit fuzzed votes in the first place.

      Chatgpt makes it really easy for the people inclined to write scripts to post comments and repost articles and spin up dozens or hundreds of accounts.

      Captchas help but someone committed can throw $100 in and get many many accounts if they don’t want to do it themselves. IPv6 addresses to proxy the bots through are easy to get by the thousand too.

      You also don’t use brand new accounts you roll them over the course of a few weeks or months.
