Turns out the Tory party are paying “Advertising companies” to attack movements they don’t like. Could this be why this subreddit has been brigaded by Unionist trolls over the last 5 months or so?

Not ruling Tory bots out but imho, it’s because previously this subreddit was a bit of an echo chamber. Then what with everything that happened with the SNP, people finally felt comfortable expressing dissenting opinions, and the subreddit reached a tipping point.
Now it’s more representative of Scotland as a whole, rather than just the pro-independence parts of Scotland.
Labour are at it too. There are people on here who’s literal day job is to post anti Scottish government posts.
Are our spammers not pro-labour? even the one with the “no affiliation” flair?
Going by the replies to posts about independence or the SNP, this subreddit has gone from a Pro-independence “echo chamber” to what now seems to be an anti-independence echo chamber within a few months, there’s something rather sinister happening to have such a massive change in such a short space of time. Most replies are not reflective of the views I hear from people around me as a Scottish person living in Scotland. This subreddit gives a totally distorted view of Scottish opinion, in a country where 54% of people support independence according to the latest poll, and that has elected a pro-independence government for the last 14 years.
1000%. Also why every other UK sub is totally and utterly fucked and why there are people who claim they know Boris Johnsons medical team and he defo had COVID. Odious.
