Even the intelligent, somewhat technically inclined explanations put out to squash FUD gets downvoted. Sad state of affairs. Reddits pushing porn and any mom and pop shop that accepts bitcoin for oil changes or whatever random service you can think of. In reality this is nothing new, anyone can accept bitcoin through coinbase. I'm beginning to believe that the shit I see at the top of reddit.com/r/bitcoin is what is chosen to be fed to me. Some heavy bot action in play. Actually, now that I've said it out loud, I see the potential for money in doing so. Is it time for a new avenue to express our love for btc?
Really.. a conspiracy theory... huh... I think I will pay more attention. I just assumed that r/bitcoin suffers from being on reddit. Every popular sub eventually turns to that. It's something to do with the downvoting. Like American Idol or whatever. Crowd-sourcing content.
Reddit's problem is that the downvotes outnumber the upvotes ten to one. I just assumed r/bitcoin suffered the same fate, it's why I browse r/bitcoin/new.
