Reddit bootstraps new German subs with fake posts (reddit.com)

Reddit is launching new German subs that are direct equivalents to popular English subs (like r/tipofmytongue). They have just sent messages to top German reddit users that ask them to interact with the content in the new subs - responding to posts that are just translations of English posts - which is especially rude with a sub like Tipofmytongue - the OP is not actually interested in the answers, by definition. It's a move I would not expect from a grown-up company, especially as it is directly annoying it's most active users.
