At the present moment, these are the only submissions from subreddits with fewer than 5000 subscribers on the /r/all top 100:

n. 6 on the frontpage, 4373 subscribers

n. 9, 4829 subscribers

n. 31, 4176 subscribers

n. 91, 1136 subscribers

A few simple questions:

• each of these submissions recieved more upvotes than there are subscribers in the subreddit, in some cases over 3x as many (accounting for the fact that they're ~75% upvoted); that's perfectly possible once you reach /r/all and external votes star pouring in, but how did they reach /r/all in the first place?

• even allowing that it might happen by a stroke of luck or sudden spike in popularity (for example, thanks to a large subreddit linking to them), how did that happen 4 times in 4 hours (the time difference between the youngest and oldest submission) to 4 different subreddits, all coincidentally belonging to the same galaxy of anti-Trump subs?

• the /r/all algorithm was changed so that multiple popular submissions from a single subreddit are penalized while individual submissions from less popular subreddits are boosted: is there an organized effort to flood /r/all by spreading anti-Trump content over many smaller subreddits? and, if so, who is organizing it?
