I started to notice some thing weird while using Reddit, every link post from Condé Nast owned news outlet was getting a high amount of upvotes and awards while other publications had a very normal rate of awards( usually zero, with the exception of the sponsored ones) and upvotes.

That when I started to investigate this matter till I found out about this.

They are boosting their publications on Reddit on the major subreddits. They are trying to give their publications a advantage over all the other news outlets.

They have the ability to kill the other news outlets if they keep doing that. Avoid them as if your freedom is dependent on it.

      Appreciating Space X accomplishments does not make you an Elon boi.

      Half his gig is space and is he supposed to leave Space X out of his articles?

      He talked about the Longmarch as well. I guess that makes him a terrible Chinese apologist.

        His tone for Space X failures does not match the tone he uses for <insert company name> failures. He is so quick to forgive Space X when things are absolutely abysmal.

        His tone for Space X accomplishments does not match the tone for <insert company name> accomplishments. He will praise and praise Space X when things go right, wont give the other companies the same attention when they succeed.

        Its a clear bias, and its sad that he has been able to dedicate so much time doing this without people realizing it.

          Listen, I hate that fucking South African douchebag as much as the next guy, but Space X has fucking dominated the space race. No one even comes close to them.

          They turned the industry upside down, and have more launches then the rest of the world combined. In fact it’s not even close.

          That you can’t separate the success of Space X from Musk, is a you problem.

          Sure it sucks that he benefits from their success, but also, no one believes that Musk has anything to do with their successes either.

          The repeated failures of Starship is surprising but if you can’t appreciate what a phenomenal achievement the landing of the super heavy was, then you don’t really understand the industry enough to be commenting on it.
