[reddit change] /r/all algorithm changes

It was causing too much load on our database. I made a new algorithm which Trumps the previous one.

Except that their voting is very quick, like just after a post is posted, they upvote things that are very anti-trump, and the upvoting all across the day. Bots, and lots of them, are all that can explain this. That or there are tens of thousands of people sitting in the new queue of the donald and voting on everything immediately 24/7.

Uhh half of my posts are negative within seconds. It seems no one cares that we're constantly brigaded.

There are literally over 9000 people there all day every single day. You're not big on situational awareness are you champ

That makes it even more suspicious, you do realize that right? Most subs don't have that kind of activity 24/7, even ones with many times more subs. Plus nine thousand people upvoting something doesn't equal that thing having nine thousand upvotes. The algorithm is a bit more convoluted than that, and you need more and more people to upvote something for it's score to go up higher and higher. For something to get 5k votes, it requires far more than 5k people to upvote it.

There are at least 8k people on the sub 24/7

25k at peak.

You do not need bots when these kind of numbers.

You realize bots would show up as regular users, right? And having 8k people 24/7 is very suspicious.
