I think I can see through their plan here. They want to ban legitimate users so they have to make alternate accounts. These alternate accounts will then be labeled as bots so they have a reason to keep banning these as well. It's a cycle meant to hold us down.

I think it's because they can't control the group anymore. Gotta be careful though for confirmation bias.

It boils down to 3 possibilities:

1. Shadowbanning posts from subscribers
2. Manual/automated vote manipulation by Reddit
3. Both 1 & 2 are true

Amazing how many more upvotes there are here.
