The popularity of the topic and its censorship is evidence that the powers-that-be will put down NN wherever they have a chance. What would you use as proxy? r/conservative?

  Comments/posts of little substance are evidence of manufactured propaganda. A highly upvoted informed view, on the other hand, that gets removed, is evidence of censorship by those in charge.

    Sounds to me like you're just disregarding anything that doesn't fit your narrative of "both sides support NN". A bunch of subreddit posts are not evidence of anything except the trends of a reddit bubble, however, if you're using subreddit posts to justify your position, I don't understand how you can cherry-pick a single post as evidence, but reject an entire page of posts as "manufactured propaganda". I don't think you're posting in good faith, so at this point I am going to stop the conversation on my side.

      I shared aggregated statistics calculated across a whole subreddit's history to make my point. That is a fair basis for discussion.

        You cherry picked a deleted comment from a troll subreddit to act as an indicator of the entire Republican party stance on Net Neutrality.

        > You cherry picked a deleted comment from a troll subreddit No, as I showed, that post is the most upvoted removed comment in the sub's history. If you think t_d has no influence over the republican party, you do you. This is my last comment in this thread.
