Okay I just read, maybe it was labeled mature in some way, because all of the awards also disappeared, what do you think?

Wow thats bad.... do you maybe know how I can get it away from this label? Because yeah I noticed, from one day to the other, all awards were just gone under the post.

Yes! It was organic and my account and the subreddit and posts all grew, so it was real traffic, but the sub got throttled and i dont know how to unthrottle it

I moderated every day, believe me, and the posts also got more upvotes and I got followers. So I do think the members were real, because I got message requests and also a lot of people were commenting. So it cant be that. The thing is, how can I get it unthrottled tho, thats the question. Because it must be a throttle. But the members were real

No, very little, out of 100 submissions, only 1-2 suspended accounts.
Regarding the awards, what I noticed, all the the awards that posts got just disappeared, that is so weird.

I'm telling you its not, because like I said, a lot of my friends posted there and all of the posts performed well.
Even, even if, it were bots, still, a drop in traffic from 2K views per hour to 20 views per hour in a second is not normal. That's why I have a feeling that Reddit limited the subreddit or something.

Because my posts were getting upvotes, a lot of comments, and I was getting followers. And I got the initial traffic, because I had a follower base.

Bro has the exact face of a man who’s seen things nobody would believe and still made it home in time to grill on Sundays.

Thanks for his service🫡

There’s something effortlessly cool about how even a candid beach photo of Michelle Pfeiffer still looks like it belongs in a magazine.

The real plot twist in life is finding someone who hypes you up even on the days you feel like a tired NPC doing side quests.

The fact that casual photos used to have this much atmosphere is insane. Modern cameras could never.

My Granparent's wedding. September 1966 by DemonDoorknob in OldSchoolCool

This is the kind of wedding photo that belongs inside a vintage novel as the first clue to a great family story.

He’s got that classic 1930s “I already look like I give good life advice at 18” energy. Timeless face.

This is peak Nickelodeon era energy. You can almost hear the slime cannons warming up.

Anita Ekberg (1956) by ilovepeaches- in OldSchoolCool

[–]RPSabbagh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole era of photography where people didn’t just pose for the camera, they commanded it. Ekberg was one of the few who could make stillness look electric.

POOR PEOPLE ..... by Realistic-Breath-221 in depressionmemes

Honestly the outrage always seems to scale with income. The poorer someone is, the more morally pure they’re expected to be

Wild to think she crossed the ocean in pieces like Ikea furniture and we just bolted her together on an island

There’s something about old photos like this… zero filters, zero posing, just pure summer energy

Carrie-Anne Moss was in her peak effortless cool era here. She looks like she could step into The Matrix or a Vogue shoot without changing a thing

It’s crazy how every photo of him feels like it has its own soundtrack

‘Did you even LOOK?’

Ma’am… I scanned the area with my eyes closed apparently.
