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?
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean, r/movies is trending higher with even less votes.
And the r/conservative post has 6000 comments like the top post, while the rest are only 4000.
Sounds to me like just another algorithm than a push towards conservatism.
Controversial post easily make front page for a while now.
I always hated that reddit goes for roller coaste algorithim, you cant get max dopamine youll be satisfied and youll leave, instead you need the highs and lows from controversy to maximize the amount of ads we see, I was so over it when ads started showing up inbetween comments
