    reddit doesn’t inflate the upvotes lol. they, for years, deflated the votes to make smaller communities appear bigger compared to the main subs.

        That’s not the same as inflating scores, and that’s what the feature is designed to do, make smaller communities more visible. The didn’t remove hot or rising to make it either. This is a wild conspiracy you’ve manufactured here, considering they explained why they made these changes when they made them.

          I’m acting like the moderator of this community who is trying to grow the community with content people want to discuss and share.
