on Reddit a well-reasoned "unions suck" comment will get downvoted.
I'd imagine that would depend on what subreddit the thread was in. Frontpage? Yeah, probably. Then again, if it is well reasoned, there will also be people pointing out that the downvotes are frivolous, and agreeing with points and debating.
- lukeschlather 16y agoThat was not really the best example. I was playing off the parent's post. Reddit's biases overlap a fair amount with HN's. Pick a topic where HN and Reddit agree, and you will see the effect more clearly, since the HN crowd on Reddit otherwise serves as a bit of balance.
- kaens 16y agoSure, and I wasn't talking only about the example, but about the trend itself.
