>>9917014Reddit upvote numbers and awards are given out by “site officials” with a social engineering agenda. Posts can be flagged to end up around a certain benchmark after a certain amount of time
based on their content. It’s why it’s often times you’ll see a funny antisemitic post start out with positive votes, then an hour later be at -47. Why wouldn’t mods just delete it if it was so awful? Because they want you to see that it’s soundly rejected. Real life humans may be upvoting it at a rate of 10:1, but it won’t rise. Nothing conservative EVER rises. Contrast that with every open source comment section under any news article on the internet, and the top comments are always about niggers, baby blood drinkers, etc.
I’m not saying stay away from Reddit because we all go there, but just know how fake it is so you don’t get too worked up about it
