I started to notice some thing weird while using Reddit, every link post from Condé Nast owned news outlet was getting a high amount of upvotes and awards while other publications had a very normal rate of awards( usually zero, with the exception of the sponsored ones) and upvotes.

That when I started to investigate this matter till I found out about this.

They are boosting their publications on Reddit on the major subreddits. They are trying to give their publications a advantage over all the other news outlets.

They have the ability to kill the other news outlets if they keep doing that. Avoid them as if your freedom is dependent on it.

    I agree the west is becoming less democratic and the quality of life in China greatly improved, but there is severe oppression in China and that you choose to mention the quality of life over the influence people have on their government says a lot about your loyalty to the Chinese rulers.

      If you are interested in my views and where my loyalty lies you can ask me about those things. Is there severe oppression in China? What is it? Do you mean Xinjiang? Have you seen any evidence to support this? Any evidence to the contrary?
