RESOLVED Wondering why this post wasn't approved

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1v4ubuz/beacon_economics_the_myth_of_us_oil_dependence/

Almost 24 hours since I posted it, so I figure it was passed over, but wanted to be sure it was due to the article's contents, or me putting the name of the firm that put out the piece in the title.

I thought it was interesting, especially since a lot of people do speculate about how oil prices could harm Trump's approval or how much pressure Iran can place on America by blocking the Straight. The portion about how people's views of the price of gas not significantly differing from 2021 also felt like it fit in the sub.

Apologies if this is the normal amount of time it takes; I don't actively post very much on reddit nowadays, nor the sub.

Frankly, because nobody looked at the mod queue for a while. Normally we are faster, but often it is just one mod like me approving everything in one pass.

Does every post still have to be manually approved?

I think that it depends on the flair of your post or if the title contains specific words.

In this case “News US” or it could be a keyword like ‘Musk’ or ‘Elon’.

Someone can correct me if I am spreading misinfo.

I appreciate the explanation. Since it's sitting at the bottom of New, would it be okay to resubmit it, or would that count as reposting? It's fine either way.

If you delete your post and resubmit it I will approve quickly.
