How is it off topic exactly? Here is the deleted article link: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-ai-tool-doge-veterans-affairs-contracts-sahil-lavingia

First, deleting a repost is clearly not evidence of any kind of bias.

That is not a repost, this is an other article from ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-ai-tool-doge-veterans-affairs-contracts-sahil-lavingia

Second, maybe Ars is just more popular/trusted? Maybe it’s more upvoted because the Ars title is more meaningful, it’s super well known that people mostly only read the title.

Are you joking with me? They are using a paraphrased title.

I’m not saying reddit isn’t manipulating things, I’d be shocked if they weren’t. But this isn’t really evidence that they are.

I am really curious, what sort of evidence you want/expect to see?

ProPublica used Original custom made cover photo+ they did the whole investigation.

Ars Technica used stock photo and paraphrased some of the info.

Despite that, the undeleted ProPublica post got about 80 Upvotes in 3 hours. The Ars Technica one got about 120 in about 50 mins.

As I said before: The Ars Technica post is expected to hit the front page, while the ProPublica ones are expected to die, despite being the original source of the info.

In case it isn’t clear, the Ars Technica post is expected to hit the front page, while the ProPublica ones are expected to die, despite being the original source of the info.

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.
