To be fair The_Donald has a lot more than 0: I mean, Trump getting elected and rubbing it in Reddit faots faces for months must have given them a hell of a lot of points.
There are 5 admins on a site with millions of commenters. There is some filtering, but there are no opinions that are forced away. Some of them are forced to have the language scaled back (eg. Fatpeoplehate became fatlogic and you can be banned for calling someone a hamplanet) but the ideas are still allowed to exist.
People with shitty opinions always try to make themselves into victims. Even in this sub there are constant user reports about people being called mean names, so there are SJW readers, meanwhile there are people who post about "the jew" in every comment they make and they're upvoted. There is a lot of diversity on Reddit, people just get upset that their opinions are (from their perspective) under represented.
I don't care personally, but Reddit doesn't want the entire front page to be The_D posts. These guys were running scripts to upvote everything in their sub. That's why the rule was put into place, unless we're talking about something new.
That might be a more valid reason if there weren't daily anti-trump posts botted straight to the top of /all all day every day. There's a nuisance aspect to it but anyone who argues there isn't a major ideological motivation behind it too is dishonest.
There has been extensive proof offered (in t_d threads though so I dunno where it might be now) and today there was one at the top of /all from a sub with 300 subscribers at over 6k votes when I saw it. There was also an article not long ago showing you can basically buy your way to the top of reddit for like a couple hundred bucks. The argument over whether or not these posts are organic is settled; they ain't.
The_D would post all day how they couldn't reach the top of /r/politics but failed to realize they had less than 1/8 of the subscriber list. They were a small fuck up who did damage once and it got to their pea sized brains. Here at O&A, we never let fame get in the way of our hatred and endurance to slander an individual until it hurts them mentally, and possibly physically.
I saw a lot kf accusations but no proof that bots were used. You see that when subs with low usercounts and low up votes suddenly have a post with like 10 000 karma. T_D threads typically have thousands of comments and votes, it just seems to be popular and notorious sub.
You think one of the top 3 subreddits on the entire site had to bot to upvote things? /r/the_donald is probably the biggest Republican hangout on the internet.
Isn't it more likely that all these anti-trump subs are the one botting, with some threads having xx,xxxx upvotes but only 4 comments?
I wouldn't doubt that both sides are doing it. Surprised first post is a controversial opinion though. I actually did see some posts last fall that showed evidence of The_D members using scripts.
Ok, here it is. I wish it was from a different source for neutrality, but it is what it is.
I'm very hesitant to believe that because of the source like you said. The only 4chan script I saw being shared around on /pol/ (when I did check it) was screenshots of what CTR were using. They're also were direct linking 8chan like noobs not understanding it expires quicker.
I do programming and have built marketing tools for bulk submission on social media (not Reddit though). It would be stupid to have a browser extension that handles everything they're saying, you would be banned very quickly from the amount of footprints you're leaving behind.
The screenshots from CTR and their Reddit bots were much more legit looking because it was an actual desktop app, which is what you see for marketing tools (that or dedicated websites for them).
What basic argument? Reddit isn't run by the government. It's a privately owned website and the people that run the site can do whatever the fuck they want. Don't like it? Go over to one of the many message boards around or start one yourself. Setting something up doesn't take much.
If you don't like that this restaurant is White's Only, go somewhere else!
Every one is trying desperately to be the victim. I've had no problem expressing differing opinions on this site other than bans from the SJW subs that share a ban list, and The_Donald. They're pretty much the same thing.
When Trump was talking about banning the press from the White House. /R/ the donald said "If anybody criticizes this you will be banned". Because a lot of people, including Trump supporters were angry about this. Also, The Donald was always a very creepy sub. It always felt like Russian trolls or bots are heavily involved in that site.
