"could this be a testing thing?"
>every other post is called test
>every other comment says test
its a mystery...

This is 100% a testing thing. You wanna test gifting gold works on lots of different scenarios: text post, image post, video post, comments ect on all platforms. Because you work in an office you quickly photograph your desk to get an image to post or some random image online.

The fact your main channel covers things based in reality and doesn't follow the bait reddit posts or the ARGs is what made me love your channel.

Its so hard to find channels with these eerie online stories that don't end with "this is probably an ARG"

I think I figured it out. Potentially, LSS stands for Lean Six Sigma which is "a method that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing waste and reducing variation." In other words they are testing all the different features of reddit in order to systematically improve it.

Oooh. Weird Pavlov effect. This wasn’t spooky at all, but I’ve come to associate your voice with scary stuff, so I was freaked out the whole time. Nice work 👏 👏 This was interesting!

The spookies part of this video is the fact that his youtube is in light mode in the beginning

03:15 in the monitor you can see a test scenario. This is how QA planning their tests. This guy is just testing the site.
The only odd thing here is that they are testing on production and not on test environment.

LSS might stand for Lean Six Sigma which is described as ".. a method that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically removing waste and reducing variation." From what I remember of my LSS training it would make sense in the context of testing software as one of the main objectives is to eliminate "defects" on a per million basis.

Probably just piling on- but I am a tester for an e-commerce site and testing in production is very common for companies nowadays. Virtually all of my manual testing occurs in production. This includes things like placing real orders and then canceling them, testing review commenting, etc. To show it’s a test to the reliability team (and for analytics metrics), we leave “marks” to show that the order was a test. For example my main prod test account owners name is “Test Tester” lol.

My best guess is that testers from reddit have these test subs and test Reddit accounts that they do regression or smoke testing in. Making sure commenting, posting, awarding, upvoting, etc is working after a hot fix or other deployment.

"I prefer mysteries that are more in the realm of reality" absolutely agree, that sentiment alone deserves a donation

The L likely stands for Large. Testing systems meant to handle large data sets is hard. You need to host those large data sets somewhere and that's expensive. Moreover reddits data volume is insane, think of every post, comment, up/down vote and gold. So instead of testing a huge, expensive duplicated version of all that data, they just hide some tests in the live site. Its a bit of a hack, but it seems to work.

As a developer, as soon as you said the account name was reddit gold test or whatever, I knew what was going on lol

[ArmouredProductions]

So what you're saying is that I can get free Reddit Gold?

LSS stands for Lean Six Sigma, part of quality assurance.
