They should really have used a polling site off Reddit to avoid that, but then, I suppose that if Reddit honestly got caught fiddling the scores -- like, say, a huge instant jump at the end -- that would be pretty catastrophic from a PR standpoint for the admins doing it.
After all the bad PR L's Reddit has been taking lately, I feel like they'd just add it to the pile. They clearly don't care about anything other than money at this point.
which is weird.. because they're kinda burning their value at the moment
They clearly dgaf about their PR anymore lol
