I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

    I mean, r/movies is trending higher with even less votes.

    And the r/conservative post has 6000 comments like the top post, while the rest are only 4000.

    Sounds to me like just another algorithm than a push towards conservatism.

    Controversial post easily make front page for a while now.
