Reddit's /r/changemyview was revealed to be a social experiment carried out by some university, and LLMs/bots were 99% more effective than human speakers in persuading others that their viewpoints were right.

Take that information and roll with it into Edward Bernays methodology of psychology-based advertising and you'll see what Modern Reddit (RIP Schwartz) actually is.
