ok, it's no secret that the mods of r/bitcoin artificially inflate subscription numbers, but a thread caught my eye just now. go ahead and read through all the comments in this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3lcawm/big_banks_consider_using_bitcoin_blockchain/

There is absolutely no way those were written by human beings. The uniformity, the vagueness, and the disjointed nature of the comments just comes across as so bizarre. The more I look at it, the more obvious it becomes. Have the mods of r/bitcoin gotten to the point that they have created user bots to comment and pump their threads?
