- wilfra 14y agoOne of their editors was banned from reddit for spamming: http://www.dailydot.com/society/atlantic-slaterhearst-jared-keller-reddit/ http://www.dailydot.com/society/atlantic-slaterhearst-jared-... And the site was later banned altogether by reddit: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/06/13/reddit-bans-the-atlantic-businessweek-in-anti-spam-crusade/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbercovici/2012/06/13/reddit-...
- thezilch 14y agoOr just frequents there (and here) and submits "everything?" What would Ockham's say?
- joshu 14y agoi did spam abatement on delicious for years. look at his history; it's half theatlantic. also, both things hit the front page with zero comments. that's rare. so i suspect a voting ring, too.
- thezilch 14y agoI had looked, prior to my first comment. Most of his Atlantic posts don't generate many or any points, individually. If his theatlantic post-frequency is our only signal, I'd just as soon have the same assumptions for nytimes, economist, or bloomberg -- look past the last 30 submissions. I still suspect we are only witnessing a guy who submits "all the things" from the homepage of <insert today's favorite source>, and possibly just got lucky, today, with a slow and late night; though, one of the submissions is pushing 60 comments, as of this post.
