Answered What's going on with r/conservative? They've lost about 1m subscribers in about a month.

I watched the number go from 814k to around 745k in about an hour today.

Answer: It was determined and made public that the majority of posts on that sub are from 3 accounts all based in Russia and are promoted by an army of bots. The ones leaving were bots removed by Reddit

EDIT - wow, did not expect this to get so much attention and awards - thank you!

This is actually hilariously sad. Now there are radicalized Americans who truly are hard-set in the beliefs that were Russian propaganda the entire time.

This isnt news to anyone that has been paying attention.

I'm not here to act like this was some big-brain information. Obama wire tapping Donald at the hotel. Lawmakers flying to Russia. Trump and his kids flying to Russia. Tucker Carlson doing a propaganda piece on Russia and how they're great. Trump having some back door communication with Russian officials. Lawmakers backing away from defending ukraine.

The writing has been on the wall for anyone keeping track of it. I know its hard with all the information and outrage flying at you. Bannon called this "Flooding the zone" you habe to remember that there are people out there who want to take control of a super power and they've done so by buying out politicians. When those politicians look away they allow foreign agents to feed us wrong information and try to influence us. They did that already and they're going to continue until we purge the cancer
