[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3784077, member: 45524"] they have been doing this for years. back when r/the_donald was still a thing, reddit went thru SEVERAL alterations of their algo in order to suppress JUST HOW POPULAR that subreddit was. basically, they changed the "voting" algorithm in combination with the submission algo in order to prevent new posts that get IMMEDIATE upvotes from being pushed onto the front page. this stopped the entirety of the front page being all trump posts. then, i'll have to look for it; but i remember there was an e-mail leaked from spez that addressed how many ACTUAL, UNIQUE visitors to reddit there were. it was somewhere in the lines of just a few million, straight up like 10 million TOTAL USERS ON THE WHOLE SITE. but yet, when you go to a subreddit like r/politics (which we KNOW was literally PURCHASED by david brock and shareblue prior to 2016 because hildawg was PISSED that reddit was nothing but bernie and trump posting), it says there are over 8,000,000 subscribed users. using the daily unique log ins and daily comment data (most reddits don't submit, more comment), it was obvious that the_donald was BY FAR the most popular subreddit. and even spez had to admit this in his e-mail.... but long story short, if his numbers were correct it meant at one point like 80% of reddit's daily traffic involving REAL users were all going to the_donald. like straight up, the_donald was getting like 6,000,000 of the 10,000,000 users on the site; literally MORE THAN HALF OF REDDIT WAS USING THE_DONALD. this was exposed YEARS ago, and not long after that subreddit was shut down for "violent threats against police", which is a joke now that BLM literally burned several police stations to the ground and "f 12" and ACAB and all that trash. HOLY CRAP I FOUND A RANDOM FOX NEWS AFTER GOOGLING FOR LIKE AN HOUR. THERE IS ***NOTHING*** ON REDDIT ABOUT THIS ANYMORE; THIS IS HOW DIGITAL CONSPIRACY IS SO SIMPLE TO ENFORCE; IF A SCHIZO LIKE ME DOESN'T REMEMBER THIS STUFF AND *KNOW* THAT IT EXISTED; IT WILL BE "GONE" WITHOUT A TRACE AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW.
