I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

    They are using that sub to split reddit hive mind lol

    Same way they used bootlicker to split Luigi sentiment.

    It ain’t working haha

      Exposure does have impact, don’t kid yourself. There’s a reason ads work the way they are.

        Always bothered me how much control a few mods have overr the whole internet (reddits the first google result) They fr have insane amounts of influence with no one to keep them in check. Theres a reason mfs like ghislaine maxwell thrived there.
