I've been testing different types of posts over on Reddit, to see if I could come up with a pattern of success so to speak and then replicate it.
This is stats so far, from a post I did yesterday. I'm not sure if it will or if it did hit the front page. But kinda interesting numbers.
I think I found the trick, and that's to make people argue..

I'm sure it would have been much better had Reddit not been acting like ass this morning. It's been spitting out almost constant 404's the last few hours.
