If they were just talking about Reddit, I’d assume something dodgy was going on connected with the IPO. But Quora is supposedly back from the dead too… Am I missing something glaringly obvious here?

Election is coming up, all Russian bots
It's all kinds of bots; Russian, Chinese, Liberal, Conservative, but most of all its Reddits own bots meant to inflate traffic stats ahead of the IPO.
So what you're saying is we should short the stock to make it big
Could even open a lawsuit and force reddit to investigate how much of their traffic is bots, immediately after the IPO
This is not financial advice… typically these things balloon fast, and maybe stay up a week or two before anyone buying is done buying and the price collapses to the point informed investors want in. You can also have people doing price support early (“a squid on the bid”) to avoid a depressing price collapse in the opening phase, but that’s something you have to feel from experience.
Judging by the trending posts, its mostly us liberal bots :).
And Israeli bots (probably IDF and Pro-Israelis too)
Seriously I just discovered this. Go search any random Gaza/Palestine/Israel post you will see -50 for someone saying "Israel has killed children and should stop killing children" and like +300 for "this article is so biased it's taking about Israeli attacks but no mention of how Hamas is the real cause of this death".
I'm not even going to bother to link because I want people to see for themselves rather than it looking like I'm selecting the worst if it.
yeah but that's sadly how a lot of real people think on Reddit anyway.
It probably has a lot to do with their IPO as well. They want to look like they are doing well ahead of that.
