        Not with how reddit works. It subtracts downvotes from the total, which means likely hundreds of more people than the 1,700 read that and thought "yes"

          Also for a long time now, one upvote by a user does not equal one upvote on a post. They have some weird algorithm now to calculate the upvotes once it starts getting over a few hundred

            Which comes in handy when you need cover for why every "US enemy bad" post gets 10k upvotes with all the comments either removed or debunking it

        This is the natural result of a for-profit healthcare system that makes people wary of medical settings/advice, and lack of funding in schools and piss poor critical thinking education

    I don't know man, if you're subscribed to r/conspiracy you're kind of consenting to being presented with weirdo fringe opinions that are often wrong/destructive. As toxic as r*ddit is I don't really see how you get to blame this on their algorithm.
