- hsod 10y agoThe r/all algorithm was tweaked last year during the election to prevent subreddits from flooding the front page. What you observe may simply be the result of that, rather than vote manipulation.
- jrnichols 10y agoI'm more likely to blame vote manipulation, especially when it's a brand new anti-Trump sub (of which there seems to be a new one every few days) rising on r/all. The number of specifically anti-Trump subs is getting out of hand and I can't believe that they're all organic up votes at this point.
