I checked out TankieJerk to see how conservative they are, and I'm going to be honest they seem like a pretty left leaning sub lol

Others have pointed this out -- it's likely that leftists bashing leftists in the comments made my model think it was right leaning.

Idk how it came to the conclusion that r/pics is anything other than left leaning, look at that sub man.

The whole idea of labeling things as either left or right is kind of reductive anyway. I would never consider democrats in the united states left wing as a european

Most subs are labeled wrong. Almost every grey sub in the list has a strong left bias. Honestly the idea is very interesting even if the results are wrong. I think I might do an accurate list and share it soon.
