I'm far from stating that t_d used bots to push submissions up, because there is no definite proof, but what I know for sure is that the US election ruined browsing /r/all for me. While it was mostly porn and memes before, every now and then I would bump into something interesting from a subreddit I didn't know. But during the election it was 90% of either t_d or sandersforpresident.
EDIT: Apparently reddit has changed the /r/all algorithm so this is no longer true. Thanks everyone for informing me!
- problems 10y agoReddit actually tweaked the /r/all algorithm to change this. Which basically looks like a political move and it is kind of sketchy in that regard, but for users like you it's probably beneficial.
- zapu 10y agoI didn't know, thank you! I've edited my post so it doesn't misinform people.

- freehunter 10y agoIt only looks like a political move because a political subreddit is the one that forced the change. If it was any other subreddit, no one would have cared. I'm sure if /r/hillaryclinton did the same thing, they would have reacted the same. It's not good user experience for one subreddit to take over the site like that.
- wolf550e 10y agoYou should use RES to filter out political subreddits from r/all.
- marcoperaza 10y agoAny one subreddit is at most 3-4 posts on any page of r/all. This change was made months ago.
