I started to notice some thing weird while using Reddit, every link post from Condé Nast owned news outlet was getting a high amount of upvotes and awards while other publications had a very normal rate of awards( usually zero, with the exception of the sponsored ones) and upvotes.
That when I started to investigate this matter till I found out about this.
They are boosting their publications on Reddit on the major subreddits. They are trying to give their publications a advantage over all the other news outlets.
They have the ability to kill the other news outlets if they keep doing that. Avoid them as if your freedom is dependent on it.
Shilling on Reddit is of course not a great look, but boycotting these publications will only hurt journalists.
The C-suite can always get nice golden parachutes when things go downhill, while writers and editors get a pittance if anything when layoffs and buyouts come down the pike.
Should corporations be able to have their fingers in so many pies? No. But the horses are gone, so debating the barn door is irrelevant.
You really like metaphors.
Yeah, I realized after submitting that I'd written in majority idiom, which wasn't my intent.
