Reply to comment by sakezx in [OC] How news stories evolve in the news cycle by PartisanPlayground

that sub is so stupid. This is an american website, of course references are going to default to american point of view.

This sub is about data. Well-presented data should be clear and unambiguous. The reader should have no doubt about what they are reading. Leaving out the fact that this is American, anywhere on the post, is simply sub-par data analysis.

I don’t mind a preponderance of American-centric views. What I ask for is two simple letters. Compare: “How news stories evolve in the news cycle” to “How news stories evolve in the US news cycle”. Real big difference, right?

No, it’s the American defaultists who are stupid. They are completely ignorant of the fact that there are people on the internet who are not in America. This mentality extends way beyond Reddit.

Re Reddit being an ‘American website’. Sure, it’s hosted in the US - but a considerable 46% of users are not there.
