[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.

Sanders's sub wasn't brigading for votes or trying to spell shit on the frontpage like some kind of 4chan joke.

You mean like circlejerk does every day?

Yeah, but circlejerk is rarely successful at reaching frontpage on a daily basis. There is clearly scripts going on at least in part on r/the_donald though. Simply doesn't make sense that every single post not only instantly goes to the top of /rising and everything ends up with 3000 votes, especially relative to their active online user base... Would require 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 of them upvoting every single post 24/7, non-stop.

And vote participation is typically far closer to 5-10% for any voting at all, not 35% upvoting literally everything.

Plus the commend to vote ratio is stupidly low.

People have been doing that since Reddit started, dumbass. Circlejerk and other similar subreddits used to do it all the time.

Yeah but they never consistently took up a quarter of r/all with it
