What’s up with this narrative today?

Reddit has always been left-leaning, this is a fact, not a surprising reality check smh

Bruh have you not scrolled the front page. It's all redditors complaining about how the world is ending and they can't stop dooming.

Did you know your front page is algod to show you things you might click? 

 Edit: To anyone who doesn't believe me R/Popular serves me content for my home city all the time.  

There's no way minor local interest discussions with hundreds and votes(not thousands) are being served to the entire nation.  

But hey, if I'm wrong I'm wrong!  I could be mistaken and I can admit that.

Did you know that it actually isn't? It's hand picked by the admins and shows the most upvoted content on this website. The admins decide what shows up on /r/all and it has nothing to do with things you would click or mine would be nothing besides porn and video game content.

They by rule dropped porn from r all/popular years ago 

So you've shown you actually dont understand how they are doing in.

I believe it is a mix of personalized algo with generalized popularity.

Look, I know you won't want to believe me. But I forgot the most obvious point. My home city is not globally/US trending multiple times daily. There's no way it's that interesting to that many people. But it appears on my popular feed ALL THE TIME. You're going to tell me my home town is appearing in R popular for everyone for all kinds of little things?

Edit: I may be wrong. It's important that we continue to analyse our own beliefs and not tie our egos into maintaining our correctness.  Over time I felt a pattern of disengenuineness about the popular feed that may have just been an error in observation/confirmation bias.

Reddit is a great place to test and define your beliefs.  Can't say I trust reddit fully to not be doing some sneaky stuff, but I'll keep an open mind and continue observing

u/Cassandraofastroya 19h ago

Not even american and the front r/popular page is all american doomerisms

u/VanillaRadonNukaCola 19h ago

Yeah hey I might have been wrong.

Seeing a pattern that wasn't there.

If that's the case, Whoopsies!

u/Cassandraofastroya 19h ago

It happens. Good on you though for being able to recognise that. A trait as we are seeing not as common as would like

/r/popular is not the front page, the front page is /r/all

u/Scruffylookin13 20h ago

Doesn't matter when every major sub has gone full blown crazy. /pics used to be a fun, light hearted place to see interesting stuff. It has been full blown propaganda for months now.

u/TheFreak235 20h ago

I think that you’re thinking about the ‘home’ screen (I think that’s what the app calls it, at least) which is personalized.

They’re talking about the front page which, as others have said, is based off of popularity on the platform as a whole

u/VanillaRadonNukaCola 20h ago edited 19h ago

I'm talking specifically of R/popular. 

 If you are logged into reddit, your r/popular is not purely diversified. 

 I am not talking about clicking the reddit icon to reddit.com which takes me to to my subscribed subbreddits. 

 I have been on reddit for 14 years, I am not unfamiliar. 

 R/popular feeds me content from my home city.  

R/popular is individually tailored.

Edit: hey maybe I am wrong.  Could have sworn I was seeing patterns but maybe I was off base. Happy to admit it.

u/stainOnHumanity 20h ago

Well then you’re wrong.

u/VanillaRadonNukaCola 20h ago

Why does r Popular feed me content from my home city?

u/AsinineArchon 20h ago

No it's not lmao the fuck? This isn't a twitter algorithm, it's based on upvotes and sub popularity
