Politics without a technical tie in?
- calibas 7y agoI can understand that, but then why is a post about canine health ranked 10 times higher when it was posted roughly the same time and received 1/3 the votes? I'm wondering if there's some sort of artificial manipulation going on, as it's a story that's heavily embarrassing to one of the world's most powerful and influential industries.
- root_axis 7y agoA simpler explanation than artificial manipulation is extreme polarization. This story is a kind of an "egg on the face" moment for one side of the debate, so lots of people have a shared desire for this story to wane without necessarily coordinating to make it disappear.
