    The alt-right is having a great time right now on Reddit. Tons of their posts from r/conservative on the front page.

          You joke but it’s not exactly wrong.

          People like that love to buy dumb shit. After a time Reddit will be nothing but my pillow, t shirt companies, colonial penn life insurance, and reverse mortgage ads.

            True, but they’re not exactly swimming in disposable income, usually. Trump’s base is mostly non-college-educated whites. Not exactly a rich vein to mine.

              True, but that’s the same base for the mega churches, and those fucks aren’t hurting for private jets.

              Trump raises a few million bucks every time he tells his supporters to donate. A LOT of companies want in on that

      r/Canada was taken over by alt-right a long time ago. r/OnGuardForThee had to be made in response to that. I feel like Reddit in general is going that direction. The sheer volume of bot activity on most major subreddits is insane.
