On a similar note, I wish political subs (and all subs) would knock it off with the vote baiting titles. Stuff like "This post about x should be the new #1 post on reddit, lets get it there!" or "We haven't seen a post about x on /r/all in a while let get it to the front page". I feel like the past few weeks there have been so many posts, not just from Trump subs or Anti-Trump subs vote baiting and filling /r/all with useless spammy shit. Isn't this kind of vote baiting with titles against reddiquette anyways? Why aren't the admins doing anything about this and just banning upvote-bait post titles entirely?

[–]drdelius 59 ポイント60 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Which is exactly why /r/politics automatically deletes any post who's title doesn't EXACTLY match the link's headline. If you think they're bad now, just take a second to think how bad it could be if they allowed improvised titles.

Yeah, they are obviously asking for votes which is against reddit rules. I wish admins would crack down on all moderators who allow this shit.

[–]hikerfag 984 ポイント985 ポイント  (235子コメント)

nothing on their front page is voted that high.

[–]SaloL 485 ポイント486 ポイント  (180子コメント)

I don't see the "250k" post either. Even the top post is one 60k-some, not the 150k as claimed.

Granted, there may be something weird going on with the votes since that one picture allegedly (at least I didn't see it) got reduced to 0.

[–]elshizzo 181 ポイント182 ポイント  (87子コメント)

this post has around 280,000 upvotes.

You can determine upvotes mathematically, 52% upvoted with 21,297 points translates to around 280,000 upvotes and around 260,000 downvotes.

[–]SaloL 99 ポイント100 ポイント  (62子コメント)

Ok, that makes sense.

However, what about the 250k-some odd down votes as well? I don't think roughly equally as many other redditors are down voting it as well. You know the saying, "don't attribute to malice what stupidity can explain."

My guess, supported by the post that went to 0 votes, is that there's something odd doing on with the algorithm or something similar (perhaps preparing for the inauguration posts tomorrow?), though I also won't go on and blame the mods vindictively. I'll wait until the admins sort it out, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter, to me at least.

Edit: I just looked at /t_d/top for the last 24hr and they all seem to consistently have a 60+/-5% for the up/down vote ratio. Looking at /all/top, there's much more variety, going from +90s to 60s.

Honestly, I have no idea how reddit's voting thing works or what what I just said above means or how that may tie in to a possible algorithm or voter manipulation thing from either side, but it just seems too coincidental for me to just believe one reason or another right now.

[–]Draculea 62 ポイント63 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think what's happening here can be summed up as "Reddit vs. The Donald."

On other posts in /all, you have them coming from communities that aren't absolutely single-purpose. I made a post in GTAV about a character cosplay -- but how many people are interested in character cosplays on GTAV?

But on The Donald, you can promise that if a post is A. Supportive of Donald Trump or, B. critical of his opponents, it will be upvoted by 100% of their community. In other subreddits, you might only get ~70% approval.

Now, when the post hits /all, you get "the rest of Reddit" voting on it. If you aren't already a subscriber to Donald, chances are you don't support Donald. So, virtually everyone who sees it from "the rest of Reddit" hit it with the downvotes.

So, you have a consistent vote ratio: Everyone in the Donald, voted against by everyone not in the Donald who cares enough to downvote it.

[–]SaloL 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (3子コメント)

While that's a good point, there are a few thing I'd like to point out:

1) Perhaps some of /t_d's posts don't make it to /all, or not the front page. I obviously haven't been on /all all day to check, but I'd imagine some of the top posts of today didn't make it to the front page, or at least didn't stay long enough for a lot of outsiders to down vote. This leads to the next point:

2) The consistency of the up/down vote ratio. If you look on /t_d/top from the last 24hr, all the posts have a up/down vote ratio of about 60% +/-5%. With how sporadic the posts make it and stay on /all, I find it odd that they're so consistent.

Again, I'm not at all familiar with how votes are registered or really anything of that nature, so that's why I'm trying not to draw a lot of conclusions until there's some official explanation from either admins or someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

[–]Draculea 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (0子コメント)

To the first point, I don't believe T_D posts can make it to the "Front Page" due to not being a default. You must be viewing from All to have seen it and, currently, you must be viewing from a Subscribed account, it seems.

To the second, I think the ratios are the result of the posts hitting the front page, getting a ton of downvotes and aging out. Reddit's newer algos are supposed to speed up the rank movement for All and Front Page, so it make sense to me that posts from T_D get the requisite upvotes from their community to hit /All, get downvotes from the rest of Reddit (that cares / views All) to hit 60%, where they age out -- it's a cycle that I think just keeps happening, so Reddit at Large views it as vote manipulation or whatever.

[–]elshizzo 112 ポイント113 ポイント  (44子コメント)

This post isn't an outlier. This shit happens constantly to /r/the_donald posts. They get an extremely high amount of upvotes and downvotes.

I'd argue the huge downvote counts is fairly easy to explain. Most of the website is tired of their shit.

[–]Redfishsam 73 ポイント74 ポイント  (38子コメント)

Preach. And it's worse that r/politics had turned into an anti-trump sub. It used to be a little less bias but now it's just as bad as the Donald. When r/the_Brendan is unbiased we have an issue.

Maybe I'm a little biased since I'm pro Obama, but in 2012 I don't remember it being this obnoxious meme circle jerk like T_D. It was heavily slanted to the left sure but this year got ridiculous.

[–]rudycasspi 54 ポイント55 ポイント  (11子コメント)

How is it "just as bad" when T_D literally bans you for any dissenting opinion?

Yes, /r/politics always have lefty articles at the top. But you don't get Banned for saying anything remotely non-lefty. It's not the same thing at all.

I swear 2016-17 is the year of the false equivalence

This is the type of shit of even why he is even the president.

[–]chrstnbnc 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (6子コメント)

They ban dissenters in r/politics. How do you think they get their nice echochamber?

[–]Emperor_Mao 35 ポイント36 ポイント  (4子コメント)

They don't ban dissenters. /r/politics is an echochamber because people downvote posts they disagree with. As someone who has posted a healthy mix of left and right wing view points in /r/politics, I have never been banned. I have been downvoted plenty though. Quite a contrast to the_d. Pretty sure 1/2 of reddit is banned from that sub for one reason or another.

[–]Aceofspades25 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well what the fuck do you expect? You now have the most ignorant and gullible president in US history - of course a political sub is going to be talking about it all the time!

[–]Fyhr 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (7子コメント)

The downvotes do make sense. /r/all has millions of unique views per day, all of which will see botted t_d posts

[–]SaloL 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (3子コメント)

But did all those posts make it to the front page? I don't know, and I don't want to ask in a condescending tone, but I'm pretty sure all of them didn't; not all of /t_d's high scoring posts make it from what I've seen.

[–]faithle55 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh, yeah; I'm dumb.

Was trying to figure out how 20,000 people managed ten times as many upvotes. Answer: bots.

What is going on in the mind of somebody who thinks they need to use artificial means to make their post 'popular'?

[–]dogmania2009 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Seems like the upvotes count is right but the % is artificially affected by admins/algorithm cause I doubt a quarter million people actually voted either way on any t_d post. Assuming all the upvotes were fake.

[–]ElectronicDrug 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (16子コメント)

You can determine upvotes mathematically, 52% upvoted with 21,297 points translates to around 280,000 upvotes and around 260,000 downvotes.

Where do these numbers come from?

[–]toy_boat_toy_boat 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (5子コメント)

https://i.imgur.com/gIyAr14.png

538775 total votes - 21551 points = 517224 / 2 = 258612 + 21551 points = 280163 upvotes

280163 upvotes / 538775 total votes = 0.52 x 100% = 52% upvoted

 

Close, but this must not be how it works because it says it's only 52% upvoted. I don't understand reddit math, apparently..

EDIT -- the math checks out. I'm just a bit slow.

[–]Roboticide 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Just so we're clear, the actual numbers are fake. You know this right? The only true part is the ratio of votes and the percentage upvoted.

The numbers are just vote obsfucation. This was a big deal several years ago when that was pointed out.

[–]hikerfag 228 ポイント229 ポイント  (59子コメント)

Yeah, I'm not sure. Definitely nothing record breaking. IMO people should just use the filter and grow up a little.

[–]______DEADPOOL______ 179 ポイント180 ポイント  (27子コメント)

Plus, the front page is being flooded by other anti-trump subreddits too like /r/EnoughTrumpSpam and /r/politics

This is not an issue with /r/the_donald allegedly engaging in vote manipulation.

[–]Avedas 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Subreddit filtering is probably the only thing in recent memory that Reddit has done completely right.

[–]deadfisher 73 ポイント74 ポイント  (19子コメント)

This post from /r/politics has a score of 10 000, 2000 comments, and the top comment has around 2000 upvotes.

This post from t_d has a score of 35 000, by contrast it has 50 comments, and the top comment is rated 100.

It's quite reasonable to suspect there's vote manipulation going on, especially considering there are a dozen more shit posts just like it. When a group is manipulating a system, it's totally reasonable (and responsible) to combat that manipulation. For personal happiness, ignore and move on. For the good of the community, question and resist.

You know it's not just trolls doing this, right? And it's not limited to Reddit, or even the internet. There is quite likely a concerted propaganda campaign mounted by somebody with a serious bankroll.

[–]IActuallyLoveFatties 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Using the score of the top comments to judge anything is pretty meaningless now that we can't see the +/- on comments. For all you know there were 10x as many people voting on the top comment of t_d post than on the politics one.

[–]newtype2099 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Or maybe it was a silent majority that, instead of venting and fuming and raging on the Internet about stuff they don't like, kept it to themselves and voted.

Trump is terrible, but a lot of socially liberal ideas, like it or not, are not as popular as you and reddit want to think they are.

[–]neotek 131 ポイント132 ポイント  (4子コメント)

OP is referring to "total" votes, not "net" votes. There are a bunch of threads on /r/the_donald right now with upwards of half a million total votes, like this one.

The problem is that the total vote count is an estimate generated by RES, it's not a number that reddit displays, so it's not necessarily accurate. Having said that, the same estimation method is used to estimate the total votes for the Obama AMA thread (which is currently the highest voted reddit post of all time), so it's definitely interesting to note that reddit's highest voted post of all time has 600,000 total votes and yet somehow a bunch of carbon copy /r/the_donald threads have over half a million.

[–]cwrunks 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're right that the vote count isn't accurate, but it is provided by reddit not guessed by RES. Tag .JSON to the end of that link and you will see.

[–]neotek 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nope, reddit doesn't show you the total number of votes, and it hasn't for quite some time now. In fact there was quite a furore when reddit made that change, lots of buttery drama and over-the-top hysterics about freedom of information.

It used to be the case that the "score" key reported the overall (i.e, net) score of the thread, "downs" reported the total number of downvotes, and "ups" reported the total number of upvotes, but for a few years now reddit has hidden that information about both threads and comments, ostensibly to make it harder for bots to know if they're having an effect on the vote count. "downs" is now always 0, and "ups" just has the same value as "score".

While the exact numbers are hidden, it's easy to roughly estimate the actual number of votes since reddit does tell you the overall ratio of votes, in the "upvote_ratio" key. You won't get the 100% exact number of total votes, or the 100% exact number of downvotes, but you'll be close enough for any non-spam purpose.

    What I mean by that is, if a sub does not allow open discussion on it, then no r/all love.

    What I mean by open discussion is NOT deleting/blocking users with opposing views who did not violate the sub's rules.

    [–]Xidas 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The main page of reddit is the front page. That's why reddit.com links you to your front page, not /r/all. This site is only going to be as good as you make it based on the subreddits you choose to subscribe to. And since you can block subreddits from /r/all now, you don't even have to do that if you don't want to - just block any subreddits that you don't like.

    [–]GonnaVote4 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (27子コメント)

    does it upset you that r/politics is a giant anti trump circle jerk?

    No, because it fits the narrative you like

    If pro obama shit hit the front page every day would you care?

    It amazes me how annoyed people get with anything that isn't hate filled towards Trump

    [–]LeviathanDabis 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (6子コメント)

    Actually I have all the hilaryforprison, T_D, politics, enoughtrumpspam, etc. blocked because at this point they are all just posting completely one-sided views of everything that fit perfectly into their narrative, and it is just one huge circlejerk on either side.

    Places like worldnews where actual discussion sometimes takes place are much better, but I refuse to allow my feed to be filled with echo-chamber posts on either side of the political spectrum. All these hivemind subreddits do is continue to create hostility between the members on the other "team", while making a mockery of America in the eyes of those who live outside this country.

    You can't say any discussion of value or meaning can happen in a subreddit where anyone who has an opposing point of view is instantly permabanned.

    [–]iams3b 51 ポイント52 ポイント  (13子コメント)

    Yeah idc about the narrative, politics at least links to articles and shit, and then talk about it (even though biased), where t_d just upvotes pictures of trumps face with a title in all caps or that one pic of Hillary with the KKK leader

    I wouldn't have filtered t_d from all if they said anything meaningful, even if I don't like him. I'd actually love to read discussions by people who are trump fans, I find it interesting

    [–]PM_Me_NetflixGiftcar 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (3子コメント)

    Look, I'm not even from the US. I don't subscribe to r/politics (as much as I'd like to know the state of things, I'm aware that it's pretty biased so even if I do choose to visit it, I take everything with a grain of salt.)

    And yes, if the pro-Obama stuff to hit the front page were shitposts and memes, I'd absolutely care and I'd be just as annoyed then as I am now. Anti-trump or pro-trump posts hitting the front page now are mostly shitposts, and now we've got more subs joining the shitpost circlejerk and it renders the front page useless. All I'm asking for (which seems to be asking for too much, apparently,) is for this trend to stop.

    [–]constructivCritic 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (9子コメント)

    On the contrary, most of us, the silent majority, love "censorship" by the admins, because it usually just curtails annoying behavior. We're just not very vocal as those with more time on their hands.

    The number of upvotes doesnt indicate brigading - it just indicates that there are far more Trump supporters around reddit than there are The_Donald subscribers.

    simply because of all the censorship

    probably also has to do with the fact that you spend all day every day posting about how Clinton and Obama are awful and how everyone is biased against Trump and how Trump is great.

    But sure, you're just an impartial redditor concerned about censorship.

    [–]GonnaVote4 56 ポイント57 ポイント  (4子コメント)

    I don't post about how awful Obama is, I personally think he was a ho hum President, not bad, but not good.

    You won't find any posts of me "trashing" obama, but you will see me talking about narratives etc.

    I have never once in my life posted that Trump was great...I think the man is a moron, completely unfit for the job and constantly remark at how stupid I think he is.

    You will find no post in my history where I praise Trump.

    But what you will find is my distaste for the media and their over the top lies....I constantly talk about how I am not a fan of trump as I think he is a moron but I'm also not an irrational hater who thinks he is the second coming of hitler.

    I'm not concerned about censorship either...Reddit is a private company and can censor who ever the fuck they want. I completely support their right to censor the donald anyway they choose but I would consider it a mistake on their part.

    That being said, I will support any group that is being censored

    At this point it doesn't look like reddit is going to do anything about them, i'd suggest the entire site just filter them out so they can metaphorically be really loud while everyone has them on mute.

    [–]SecTrono 41 ポイント42 ポイント  (7子コメント)

    They're not "artificially" boosting things. We have always been given the ability (as far as I know) to vote and downvote as much as we would like. With a small dedicated and active community you could dominate /r/all. This is common sense and I am surprised nobody abused it earlier. The ironic thing is that /r/s4p was the first political and popular extension of this mechanic, spamming /r/all constantly and then ironically out of nowhere /r/the_Donald came in and did it that much better.

    The truth is that most people with a brain stem who don't like the_Donald content have already filtered it out.

    So now everyone's just left with ETS filling everyone's /all with "anti-spam" anti-Trump Trump content resulting in, what's that? Trump spam!

    It doesn't do anything, either- negative or positive- Trump posts. He's still the President and the memes have not hurt or helped the man in the least, just created a lot of upset folks on both sides.

    So four to eight more years of this infighting? I sure hope not, but I honestly don't see it going any other way. Vitriol hoooo!

    Just an FYI, Reddit does not give you vote totals that is RES calculating it for you using the formula: Total Points / (2 * .UV -1)

    The calculation is an ESTIMATE, and the closer you are to 50% the further off it will be.

It's utterly blatant and the admins need to grow a pair and remove T_D from the site and stop this "bastion of free speech" bullshit.

    People spewing unsourced, faked bullshit like "teachers at this school are sharing bathrooms with your daughters" is downright dangerous and is being used to sway minds that don't have the time or thought to fact check.

    [–]Lonsdaleite 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    "bastion of free speech" bullshit.

    It's not bullshit. Free speech allows thoughts ,GOOD AND BAD, to be examined under public scrutiny. Free speech is part of our culture and is there for unpopular speech. Authoritarians such as yourself are afraid of differing opinions and want them censored but you are without question in the wrong here and are shooting yourself in your own foot. If they say something negative that most people disagree with then a public disclosure of that opinion exposes them. That's the beauty of free speech. If the_donald pisses you off then filter them out just like you can refuse to listen to others in public. If you want to see "fake news" head on over to r/politics where Trump kicked a baby out of a rally and called for Hillarys assassination. If you ban the_donald for your reasons then you must ban r/politics as well because "fake news" is flowing from all political spectrums lately.
