    Unfortunately this is the exact reason I left Reddit and came here full time.

    This has been going on a while- there is definitely something questionable at play here, but what that is anyone's guess. All I know is Reddit went from being a fairly fair and balanced place to chat about issues, review news articles and what not curated by other users. But just like Digg, they fell way to some kind of sponsorship, whether that be being on some gov't payroll, media outlet, or corporate sponsorship is also up for debate.

    It may be impossible to figure it out because everyone in the know has been incredibly tight-lipped about it. The kind of silence usually only provided by someone with a gov't clearance level.

        I absolutely do not and cannot until this type of thing starts getting reported. That's kind of the point right? I stayed over at Reddit for a few weeks after my fears were proven justified when my own commentary was clipped in a similar ring. Then I stumbled aimlessly for about an hour then found SnapZu.

        I am willing to search far and wide for a trust-worthy and knowledgeable community to hang my hat.

        Multi-tribe posting. For a story to get buried, it must be removed from all relevant tribes. Quite an harder feat.
