I learned about the TPP from reddit; what interests me is how many of those sorts of posts are being removed in relation to the ones that make it through?

The ones that have made it through have had shady things done to them. The first thread will begin gathering momentum, and then they will kill it with "editorialized title", or some excuse. It will be posted again, and when it starts getting traction it too will be killed, and they will once again put up the previous post. It is now much older and it won't make it to the front page again. It is just a sly way of accomplishing the same thing, and gives them a defense.
They also point to these hamstrung posts and say that no one really cares, because they aren't making it to the top...

Interesting. I didn't realize that was going on either! I'd love to see a breakdown of the analytics of posts, including dev/mod action with them.
Transparency though, ha. That will never happen there again. I'm happy (for the moment) with the new goat overlord.

Kind of an out of the loop question here, why is the discussion about TPP banned in Reddit? I've known for a long time that it was banned, but it's just now that I've wondered why it should be. "Politics", I'm guessing?

Some seriously shady shit going on when they are blocking important news on a sub dedicated to fucking news

Does anyone knows why reddit is going hard on TPP?

Reddit has business interests and advertisers to support/adhere to.

Yes. Reddit is a corporate shill, in website form.

Isn't reddit kind of Streisanding the TPP story with all the censorship? There are still lots of TPP articles that make it through and whenever they do, the comments are always about how such an important story is being suppressed.
