Nah. Just go on over to Voat. That whole site is pro T_D violent right misogynistic and worse. They got sanctioned on reddit, not shut down. This also means that people without verified email accounts cant vote or post or view - so they dont have to worry about ornery Bots in there any more. By the way the count over there is WAY down because the bots are gone. Neat trick, that.

No T_D wasn't shut down, they still get to say all they have been saying before (and the bees are a buzzin' let me tell ya) But it's not like they have been silenced.

What does this ultimately change?

Nothing, really. And even if they did, they still have 4chan, 8chan, voat, and here... and more than that I am sure.

Their freedom ah Screeech is still in tact.

FALSE. Voat hates President Trump because he is allied to Jews.

Oh, well that's news to me. My black corrupted soul was too pure for that place. I started to sizzle and burn through the keyboard, so I have to admit I haven't been there in over a year.

I had nightmares and my cat died and I no longer see in color after that, so, ya know... I didn't go back.

Reddit makes me so insanely angry with its clearly biased system, sometimes I just go Voat to balance out the old ph factor. Both truly putrid place.

your cats will live longer if you don't sodomize them

Sick burn.

you could have punched back

You are right. I'm sorry, I was tired.

I might fuck cats but the only way you’ll ever get laid is if you crawl up a chicken’s ass and wait.

No, don't apologize! That ruins the fun. Decent return though. I chuckled. :)

Very interesting. I hope someone does a write up on that. Who knows how much Reddit activity is bots.

I actually wrote an article about that very thing a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/C_S_T/comments/7zb2wj/the_ultimate_secret_of_reddit_most_reddit_traffic/

That's obvious to anybody with more than a passing knowledge of social media. I assume every post on Deddit that reaches the front page of any forum there is pushed by bots, that's why all the topics aren't actually informative and are purely based on tribalistic nonsense. "Libs luv their avocadoes too much haha" and other garbage.

Great article. I agree that the near constant slope of the graph is absurdly consistent.

I have 2 questions.

1) How do they quantify "interest"?
2) Why is Bing so popular in South America, and along the equator?

Thanks. It does appear to be rigged with bots, and they have all the motivation to do so. As for your questions:

1) I think it's just the volume of searches for that term in the google search engine, but I'm not 100% sure

2) No idea

Awesome post and your trend line continues perfectly 1 year later.

[–]magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Thanks. Haha I hadn't noticed it still continued. It really is such a fake line.

If they ever make it to the IPO the finance guys will certainly be interested in your post.

[–]magnora7 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ha I'd love that. You and I both saw a lot of this coming and that's why we created saidit, tbh. Reddit is becoming a zombie of its former self. They've been smart enough to change things slowly enough that it didn't implode like digg did, but I'm not sure if the zombie will be able to cross the IPO finish line. I bet once they go IPO, if they make it, the site's decline will go faster and faster.
