Edit: I am assuming you all are also the one that brigaded our sub with comments, spam and harassment? All of which we had to delete. We didn't reply and we decided to take the higher road.

You have it backwards. What you perceive to be brigading is actually organic backlash at your spam — it's not coordinated, unlike your spam. It's quite a stretch to make yourself out to be a victim here.

I'm not an admin, but I know enough not to create a new account to drum up traffic for any reason.

For example, /u/SelfTimedRides was created in the last 24 hours for the sole purpose of plugging me_atm. Many of the accounts linked to your sub are new accounts whose only activity is talking about me_atm. I (and most observers for that matter) have trouble believing that these are enthusiastic supporters who discovered Reddit and your obscure sub within a day and do nothing but talk about it.

Usually, less than 5% of subscribers actually participate on a sub — people have a hard time believing that your subreddit has so many new accounts that are not only active users, but also actively singing praises about the sub at every opportunity when the subscriber count was at 300. Hell, I wrote a popular article that went viral and I only got one thank you note after thousands of shares and subscribers.

I see wholesomememes being plugged all the time and multiple other subs.

Most of those I've seen were in response to another comment, eg. User A says something uncharacteristically nice and User B says /r/wholesomememes is leaking. It's not unreasonable to think that it happens organically — like how saying circlejerk is leaking was a meme for some time — considering that they have 300,000 subscribers.

Every one of the comments that promote me_atm shoehorn the subreddit name into the topic in a low effort manner — using one of your comments as an example, there's a beard in an image and your comment was "the beard is /r/me_atm". You (and other alleged sock puppet accounts) scatter these low effort comments in every other sub with no attempt to comment or participate as part of the community.

Since you lied through your teeth that the reposted porn shoot apartment pic is your own, I find it hard to believe that you don't know you're spamming or manipulating votes. However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and link you to Reddit's official rules on self-promotion, which state that as a rule, less than 10% of your content should be linked to yourself (I think that ship has sailed for you). 100% of the comments and posts in these accounts over the past 48 hours have been about me_atm, if I'm being honest, 600 subscribers after such aggressive spamming is a poor result.
