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.

      Yeah, I’ve felt like they are one of the few outlets that still does any actual research or investigation into the topic of their articles.

    My advice to people who see my post here is to spread awareness about this widely as much as they could.

    They own the social media and they own the news. They are going to control people thoughts and fuck the whole journalism industry ( Bankrupt competitors) if they kept doing this.

    So there’s a number of tools to do this on desktop, but how can I easily block these domains on Android across multiple browsers and reroute to a page reminding me why they’re blocked?

    Desired behavior: I type in a conde nast URL and it takes me to a page that says blocked, sketchy ownership with a link to the Wikipedia page or this thread.
