This must be that new relevancy algorithm team spez was telling us about.
It goes on for pages. My guess would be someone phished an admin account and changed which subreddits are included in /r/all.
More realistically, some developer fucked up some logic in the new algorithm which is supposed to ignore most of /r/The_Donald for the election.
People over at SRD (SubredditDrama) have shown some fairly convincing evidence that /r/the_donald has some pretty serious vote manipulation going on, which probably has to do with it. And really, honestly it seems fairly obvious once you go on /r/the_donald and realize that everything has around +1800 to +3500 upvotes, but with significantly less comments then it should have (Usually in the 100's or less).

All that said, I though that there was a limit on the number of posts in /r/all that could be from any one subreddit - so I think it's likely that the above along with another factor is the cause.

Block it, and you get another subreddit - I got politics, then hillary_clinton. It's pretty screwed up.

Personal favorite -

A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. A recovery is when Barack Obama loses his.

I liked it better when Ronald Reagan said it.

But yeah, still good.

Not for me...not my own front page nor /r/all.
And it's fixed now. I really wonder what caused this.
I don't see it on the front page (logged out), /r/all, mobile, etc. Did it get fixed?

And to think I came here looking for hacker news.
Why did this get flagged?
There's another problem ,at least for Twitter's users:

> from hundreds of personally chosen observers

That's quite a daunting task, selecting hundreds of observers. It's not something for most people.

reddit front page is rigged!
