[meta] Is anyone going to address how this sub is being used for karma farming?

90% of what I see on my front page from this sub is "is X worth it?", where X is a critically acclaimed TV show that is generally beloved or at least highly regarded. There's usually no interesting discourse in the comments of these posts, just people saying yes it's worth it (unsurprisingly) which nets the poster more engagement and more karma.

All of these posts are from accounts made in the last month or so, and are clearly just being used to generate karma. Look at the "is designated survivor worth it" post from earlier, the account that posted it was made TODAY.

EDIT: In the last 15 minutes, 1 day old accounts have posted these: https://www.reddit.com/r/tvshow/comments/1u3w4ln/im_thinking_of_starting_to_watch_squid_games/, https://www.reddit.com/r/tvshow/comments/1u3vurj/is_the_show_doctor_who_worth_watching/
