Because that's never gone wrong before
I trust that more than some random fact checkers tbh.
Just look at front page on reddit. Basically half of the headlines are misleading.
A lot of the time there's a comment correcting the title or article at the top though. Pros and cons with that system.
There is, but doesn't explain why there's more upvotes on the post than the comment. Most people would downvote the post after reading that comment, but it's usually higher anyway. (and sometimes it's not, I know)
Because people don't go to the comments, they read the title on the front/subreddit page, sometimes vote and then move on.
Exactly my point in my comment above the other.
Yes, and reddit has massive centralized ban squads that suppress dissent.
