This is pretty bad. That pretty much destroys the credibility of Reddit's commenting system in a single act. No one can look at the integrity of the comments written by others the same any more.

Also Clinton campaigns Correct the Record[0] took over Reddit during election. Most likely with reddits co-operation. To suppress the voices of Bernie supporters and later Trump supporters.
