Nah, bullshit. Most news networks and media houses have marketing teams to spread their news links and artificially "boost" their links all over the place. Lemmy has these folks who pretend to be normal users but tend to only post news from specific websites or post tangetial links and then add in their own. And, they get to the top fast.
It's social media marketing 101.
Normal lemmy users who actually got here to escape the vote manipulations or whatever in other networks usually post archived links, summary, or even the whole article in the text. You don't normally see that with marketing accounts. And I've seen that's grow ever more as the community gets larger.
But continue to think the US is the center of the universe and there's no manipulation or marketing going on at all. It's working out so well for it, they made a TV reality star president, TWICE.
But you do you on your axis.
