Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?

To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

    They’re getting a lot of pressure from the Trump administration to clamp down on leftist content and ease regulations on right wing stuff

      this is one part, but i think its mostly because of ad revenue, right wing content drives traffic to the site, it works for Youtube/facebook.

        Crazy that that’s the case considering how bad it tends to be for advertisers. But I don’t doubt that’s involved too. Especially when the cultural focus of the country now is to rid itself of all forms of equity

          as long as people against right wingers respond to them, its a never ending cycle

      Yeah, I don’t think it’s an uptick of Russians and right wingers so much as a downtick in sane and leftist comments.
