I've noticed that the entire board is full of discussion that encourages further user over engagement with "them" (bots) by (among many other things):
* Encouraging authoritarian and know it all attitudes, essentially fake experts
* Taking the Moralistic high road
* Operational FOMO: Covering topics that "Big XYZ" doesnt want you to know leading to users to come back over and over for the inside scoop
The entire thing is designed to cement user's attention. It's fascinating.
- shmatt 3y agoIm long on RDDT because it reminds me so much of Facebook when they started pushing more negative content because it got higher interaction. When a sad face reaction was "worth" 5x more than a Like to the algorithm The algorithm now suggests posts, popular ones with lots of fighting in the comments, from subs you dont subscribe to. Essentially causing organic brigading which is against Reddit rules

- SlowRobotAhead 3y agoThere is almost no difference in r/politics and the other "formerly default" (but still default by means of network effects) subs. It's all the same lunatic that has no idea they're on the other side of the horseshoe as "the bad people".
