I haven't closely followed this story, but this is a well cited summary. Thanks for the easily digested info. It makes sense.
The same thing happened when I made /r/FBIWatch. I built it to find the criticism of the FBI, but they identified my upstream and started wording titles and articles that were pro-FBI to serve them up to my script.
I used to love reading r/FBIWatch, and I knew Reddit had to hate it. I wondered what happened when it became a FBI cheerleader sub, and figured that they replaced the mods.
FBIWatch was great.
I admire what you did there.
Respect.

Appreciate it.
A hard drive crashed lost me a number of account passwords, so I can't recover the moderation of that one. They are just going to go and go until the scripts fail. Otherwise I would have kept tooling with.
All in all, it still gets me what I want. I just have to scan through more stuff.
I also made r/uraniumnews where they fiddled with the upstream in that they just stopped making Rosatom news that sheds them in a bad light, completely.
r/ExposeTheCult looks for the nexus between the intelligence community and cult life, but it is kind of broad so I don't miss anything. I generally just use the search feature to find everything on NXIVM or John of God, or whatever. Sometimes a new TV show or music album will take it over, but it usually doesn't last ling. Right, now, it's got kind of an R Kelly problem.
/rConservativeNewsWeb is another.
I helped make /r/TopConspiracy, though my friend mostly fiddles with that one. He did something right, because it out performs my /r/conspiracywhatever fairly well, but a multi of old.reddit.com/r/topconspiracy+conspiracywhatever+conspiracyfact+conspiracyundone can be good if you just want to be up to date in the conspiracy community without having to pour over a ton of stuff.
I usually view these as best, new, top last 24 and top last hour, in the morning, just to make sure I haven't missed anything too big. It only tales about 10 minutes on a slow news day.
use the following search parameters to narrow your results:
e.g. sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
sub:pics site:imgur.com dog
advanced search: by author, sub...
