pay attention to how most of these accounts posting are no more than 2 years old yet they rack up thousands of karma and comment so little. OP does not seem to be a bot or paid poster, but it is a huge problem in r/movies.

There’s one user who has a 2 year old account but has over 7 million karma. When suspicions arise, he’ll occasionally say “oh, I just really love movies”. But he’s the one posting 90% of everything on the entertainment subs and yet he never ever comments more than a synopsis or article quote. Never gives an opinion, replies to a comment, doesn’t partake in discussions, nothing. Only time he does reply to someone is to clarify or add more news. How is that guy not doing that as a fucking job?

EDIT: grammar

EDIT 2: I honestly wouldn’t mind so much but I’ve seen other users post articles and such that get taken down right away but only for that one guy to post it himself

I know it seems so petty of me to complain, but it does cause some problems. I’ve seen users post trailers, articles, posters etc only for it to be taken down and reposted by that one guy. There are a few other people that have lots of karma and always post but they always engage with other users and partake in the discussion.

I’m not saying anyone that posts should comment, because what I really want to say is that the one guy is just astroturfing
