If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

    It’s all kinds of bots; Russian, Chinese, Liberal, Conservative, but most of all its Reddits own bots meant to inflate traffic stats ahead of the IPO.

      So what you’re saying is we should short the stock to make it big

      Could even open a lawsuit and force reddit to investigate how much of their traffic is bots, immediately after the IPO
