Looking at you, Reddit political posts.
- anigbrowl 4mo agoNot just politics. I looked up something about color e-readers yesterday and followed what at first seemed like a helpful Reddit reply suggesting some different products...only to discover that far from linking to the product or review pages, they all pointed to other Reddit posts.

- AlexeyBelov 4mo agoYeah, number of posts in /r/conservative decreased when Moscow was without electicity for a couple of hours.
- RickJWagner 4mo agoYou forgot the /s. Numerous studies have shown left wing bias at Reddit. Average sub moderators trend significantly farther left than average readers, too.
- AlexeyBelov 4mo agoNo, I didn't forget anything. This is a thing that happened, amongst other things that link right-leaning subreddits with botting. Note that this is not about the real-human-side bias, I'm only talking about manufactured traffic.
- RickJWagner 4mo agoAsk AI if Reddit has more phony political content from the left or right. Follow up on the sources it gives you. You should come away with a different point of view.
