9 out of 10 despots prefer Coke to Pepsi. Maybe it's just because Coke is better and you don't need a magical conspiracy theory about how Coke is the cause of despotism.

Rankings are also affected by the amount of comments and downvoting but when you see a story that should be on Page 1 on page 7 (at the moment) it seems overwhelmingly likely that it's flag abuse, in this case by the musk worshippers.
