YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible.

I started to notice some thing weird while using Reddit, every link post from Condé Nast owned news outlet was getting a high amount of upvotes and awards while other publications had a very normal rate of awards( usually zero, with the exception of the sponsored ones) and upvotes.
That when I started to investigate this matter till I found out about this.
They are boosting their publications on Reddit on the major subreddits. They are trying to give their publications a advantage over all the other news outlets.
They have the ability to kill the other news outlets if they keep doing that. Avoid them as if your freedom is dependent on it.

firstonly Canadian website on the list is Pornhub, in 19th place. Netflix is in 20th place 😅Edit: I went down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and just realized my comment is unrelated to the post. This is what I was referring to if anyone cares: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites
