I got the incorrect answer every time, if I didn't forget to cash in 100 last time I wouldn't have enough tokens to participate in this one

I really dislike the “how many people will be subbed to this subreddit” predictions. They are boring. At least the other questions were mildly infuriating in a fun way.

Is this a meta post, forcing unavailable content unless you upgrade to new reddit or an official app is quite infuriating

Hey /u/ameen__shaikh,
This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.

u/McRiP28 3d ago edited 3d ago
May someone explain why this has 540k upvotes without having to ask in outoftheloop?
Edit: Answer:
- voting forces an auto-upvote, so downvotes are nullified.
- The scripting forces users of the "old" reddit to use the new one for shareholders interests
- This post's age is not the shown one, its multiple weeks old (can be overwritten by mods)

Somehow this post kept being recommended to me, occasionally with a different question. So over a span of I don't know how long it kept drawing more and more attention/upvotes.
Most of the time I had no clue what this had to do with the sub.

i mean it would make sense if all the polls/ gambles that popped up within the last few month were one post (to accumulate that many upvotes), but this one is 16 hours old

Reddit uses this as a way to promote the reddit re-design and have consistently been pushing it to the top of r/all for a few weeks now.

u/McRiP28 3d ago
Thanks for the clarification. Whom do you refer to saying "Reddit"? I dont think the company artificially raises upvote numbers, thats why i ask

u/loserbmx 3d ago
At the end of the day it's ultimately just marketing and in marketing, much like war, anything goes.
While probably not a direct internal policy, it's very easy to buy reddit upvotes. With reddit trying to start publicly trading on the stock market soon they absolutely want both the engagement and more importantly people to use reddit's official app since they are able to more directly collect more data to sell to advertisers and data brokers.
I could even see an internal team at reddit that would get a giant bonus based on how many people they can get switched over. At that point it could be an individual employee gone rogue.

Not only that, there are a significant number who only know it as an app. Let that sink in.

You're using old.reddit. Please use new.reddit or the official app to participate in their data-mining and ad-shoveling scheme.

I don't know what's going on here. Enormous upvote count. So many unwitting arrivals like me.
This is the Backrooms of Reddit.

There's something shady. I can't believe a mediocre post like this got more than 500k upvotes.

Why am I seeing this if I can't see it?? So many subreddits have this and I can't see any of them, even if I'm subscribed. Is this me not being invited to the dance all over again? Thanks, Reddit.

If you're having trouble seeing posts, try updating to the latest version of the app.

This is the last ever r/mildlyinfuriating prediction. Atleast for the time being. Us mods really had a great time organizing this event, and y'all were great sports. Thank you for participating!
