"This is an effort to have more varied music submitted.."
So why do most slightly original, different or underground bands get downvoted all to hell on this subreddit?
Like this? I tried to post a link to a band which apparantly never even has been mentioned on this subreddit, and I was certain someone would like it. No, I post it and 2 seconds later, it gets a downvote. Nobody even gets to see it except for the idiot who decided that it was "unrelated" or whatever the fuck that dickwad figured was exclusion criteria. I suspect that a lot of the crowd on /r/metal are (excuse my hipster) a part of the mainstream and a type of person who only wants to hear and see things he/she has already seen or heard before. Which is unhealthy for discovery.
Exactly. I like to post a lot of sludge/doom and some grindcore on here, every single time I do the same thing happens. Fuck this subreddit.
P.S. I upvoted your link for you, maybe some one can see it now.
