Here's a question I have; reddit is full of liars. What efforts are the Upvoted staff making to verify stuff that appears on reddit before bringing it over to Upvoted?
- gcb0 11y agothey will do nothing, because they are not journalists. "The newsletter has hundreds of thousands of subscribers that wake up each Sunday to enjoy a curated digest in their inbox. Last month, we started posting original content directly to r/upvoted, including an interview with the guy handing out his resume at Busch Stadium. The subreddit amassed its highest traffic with over 700,000 unique visitors. With Upvoted, editorial, original video, podcasts, and graphic art have a place to thrive and tell Reddit’s tales in the most creative ways possible." -- http://www.redditblog.com/2015/10/introducing-upvoted-redditorial.html http://www.redditblog.com/2015/10/introducing-upvoted-reddit... it is nothing more than a pretty RSS feed with a little curation and images, linking to all the lies that are business as usual on reddit.
- Laaw 11y agoI said this in another comment, but based on what Alexis said here, it seems like there might actually be staffers (reporters) doing additional research into the stories as they appear on upvoted.com.
