"Chemicals in reddit are turning memes gay, take your Vitality Pills" says InfoWars Employee

Foreword: DO NOT INTERACT WITH ANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS DISCUSSED IN THIS POST. This is not a witch hunt, it's a cataloged admission of guilt.

Hi r/shills.

Normally, when I start writing conspiracy theory bullshit, I go off the rails and start seeing patterns where none exist. Thankfully, one InfoWars employee saved me the trouble by summarizing his entire agenda in under 24 hours.

User zimm3rmann, a prolific moderator with 64 subreddits to his name, shills for Alex Jones and attempts to disrupt criticism and skepticism surrounding his employer, InfoWars.

Here, he openly states that he works for Alex Jones and attempts to garner goodwill and excuse Jones' compulsive lying by talking about all the "good people" who work for him.

In the same comment thread he argues that chemicals are turning frogs gay, as if that was actually the problem with Jones' rant.

On r/skeptic, of all places, he attempted to push InfoWars' Brain Force scam. He excuses Jones for openly lying about the effects of Brain Force because his lies aren't repeated on the label.

Bonus Pizzagate post from July

And his userpage, which is just a mountain of InfoWars advertising.

I know reddit doesn't police conflicts of interest, but this guy pervasively wedges himself into discussions about his employer to change the narrative and distract from the actual topic.

Based on the SnoopSnoo report, he was a college student up to about a year ago, and in April his behavior suddenly changed. He went from posting casual Ron Paul stuff in August 2015, to a period of normal modding and silence, to Trump/Infowars promotions in April 2016, which is around the time companies start signing contingent contracts with college grads. Upon being hired by Jones, his behavior changed markedly from that of a normal moderator to that of a pro-Trump InfoWars shill. While he may not have been expressly paid to push a conspiracy narrative, he is taking money from the people who generate it.
