Around 2015, the signs were there. This was back when r/thedonald (or was it the_donald) was getting their content on r/all by simply upvoting things. No cheating, no "rigging", just playing by the rules of the game. Since the butthurt left can't tolerate that, the jannies contaminated their own algorithm with exception-logic to make sure only MESSAGE-APPROVED content got to the NPCs.

Eventually, they took thedonald down for (((reasons))), as with anything else to the right of Karl Marx. You'll get banned for bringing right-leaning views into their safe spaces, but it's funny how the r/conservative sub is constantly brigaded and infected with leftists that get voted to the top, while the mods there do diddly-fuck-all about it other than banning someone that goes too far right.

After the "election" in 2020, there was a unified movement across all Big Tech to censor wrongthink, and reddit happily obliged. After all, we can't have the people sharing notes after this shit now can we. Now all that remains beyond leftist no-go zones are some smaller tech-subs that are too complicated for normies to inject wokeness in just yet.
