DailyCaller: Reddit users (also known as redditors) are growing increasingly angry at pro-Hillary Clinton political action committee (PAC) Correct The Record over it’s efforts to promote a pro-Hillary narrative on the site.
Redditors are especially concerned that Correct The Record’s paid internet commenters are suppressing revelations from WikiLeaks’ release of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails, which have produced a flood of damaging revelations about the Clinton campaign
Reddit, which describes itself as “a source for what’s new and popular on the web” is divided into thousands of “subreddits,” which the site describes as “sub-communities, each focused on a specific topic.”
Whether or not a post does well on Reddit (and, consequently, how large of an audience it reaches) largely depends on how many “upvotes” and “downvotes” it receives.
Correct The Record is open about it’s efforts to combat “lies and misleading narratives about Secretary Hillary Clinton” on Reddit, to which it devoted one million dollars.
A coordinated effort to “downvote” a post could keep it from reaching a large audience on the site.
So, nothing really to inspire them in the last 6 or 18 months, then ???
Anony – no one cares about anything until it affects them personally.
Basic truth about life.
While some people have developed a wider sensitivity approaching altruism, their actions and reactions are still based on how things affect them.
CTR is playing in their sand box. Loss of control leads to insult and injury. That’s their impetus here.
They never claimed to be guardians of the galaxy in the first place, as far as I know.
