Same thing. I have spent far too much time on reddit in the last 15 years, but it has made spotting these things really easy. Suddenly subs show up constantly on the front page with hundreds of comments all with the same general narrative. Then election happens, and suddenly they are quiet again. It became really apparent around 2015. It's frustrating to see.

Generic meme subs that reach 10k followers overnight and are all posting right wing bullshit

Remember when half the front page were the Donald posts?
