Why hasn't the documentary 'The Culture High' reached the front page?

'The Culture High' is an excellent pro-marijuana documentary that makes a strong case for its legalisation, and furthermore comments on the reality that we can not claim to be free at all if we do not have the sovereignty to alter our state of consciousness whilst doing no harm to others.
The strange thing is that all of the crowdfunding campaigns that ran two years ago to finance the production of the documentary skyrocketed to the front page. I can only find 3 links to the actual finished product on Reddit.
Weird, no?

This topic is having it's votes manipulated and suppressed. There is definitely something fishy going on with the voting in this topic. The OP is not wrong here. upvotes went from +6 down to 0 in the last 2 minutes.
EDIT
it appears raw upvotes are being cancelled out on an exact 1 to 1 basis

You can install the "Reddit Votify" and the "Reddit-upvote-display" extensions in Chrome if you want to see the upvote, downvote and total vote numbers. (has some neat tricks if you run them in dev mode.)
Do you know how to add extensions to Google Chrome? (if you need a hand PM me)4 BoltingUpSince91 2014-11-14
Not weird

Except, posts pertaining to the consumption of marijuana are abundant and reach the front page most weeks. Along comes a very well produced documentary that explains extremely clearly how you're being fucked and oppressed by big brother and it's virtually invisible on this website. How is that not weird?

I am seeing some vote shaving, but I don't have time to watch closely and gather some screenshot evidence. (got stuff to do)
I'll back you up, you aren't crazy, something fishy for sure. My upvote did not even register when I upvoted.

WE ALL have the ability to prove whether this documentary is being suppressed. Share it on reddit now, I will upvote it, and hopefully others will to.
Here is a link to the search term: http://www.reddit.com/r/search/search?q=the+culture+high&sort=new

I have to believe that people are reposting this and it's being suppressed. Shit-brained propaganda is all the TV and newspapers are comprised of. Information that the government does not want you to know is literally being suppressed right now on reddit. They will not prevail.

So far the conspiracy boards are the only ones with any traction in the search bar.

Folks, this is how to get shadowbanned for vote manipulation.
Who's to say you aren't a "viral marketing" account?

I understand your sentiment, and I'm a big fan of Hicks, but you can't seriously think that he would be for the suppression of this documentary over the notion that marketing is the devils work.
I'm willing to plaster my identity to this thing if thats what it takes to prove I'm no viral marketer.

Looks more like it's just old news rather than suppression. Says more about people's attention spans than it does about the evil empire.
You on the other hand, constantly begging that people upvote, just like the original campaign promoting the kickstarter, now there's a pattern anyone can see.

While I thought something was fishy with the information provided, I can see that the thread is almost at 500 votes now.
I'm not one for vote brigading and im also not the guy you posted this to, but I believe in my heart of hearts that this is an issue where I would encourage everyone I know to cast their vote, up or down. To me, information is information, all I care about is whether the people were given it or not.

POST THE FULL DOCUMENTARY TO YOUTUBE AND IT WILL GET SPREAD AROUND
2 uberscheisse 2014-11-14
I upvoted this thread - it went from 47 to 34 immediately after my upvote of this thread, now it's 39
2 messengerofthesea 2014-11-14
I would like to add that my post on 4chan was deleted within minutes. I've seen gamergate threads last longer.
I actually found out about this documentary today, because of /r/conspiracy, so thank you guys so much for being in my default subreddits, the documentary is outstanding.
It should have a response greater than that of The Union, which had a pretty big response when it was released, but this happening absolutely stinks of some kind of corporate censorship.
Spread the documentary like wildfire, we are the change.

Yet there are many posts relating to marijuana that reach the front page every day. It would appear that many people who use this site advocate the legalization of cannabis, and that amount of people is growing every day?

Something's dodgey
1 user808a 2014-11-14
Refreshing this page multiple times and I seem to get a different number of votes from 75 to 80 seemingly random. The vote number in the top right (not the points or score) goes up then down then up then down. Odd.

I'm 100% positive votes are being supressed
2 messengerofthesea 2014-11-14
Shaven, definitely. But it isn't as suppressed as it was when the thread began at least. Just do whatever you can to spread the documentary around for now. I hope this becomes a hot topic soon.
1 bigtaterman 2014-11-14
Maybe nobody likes your shitty documentary.
1 veridikal 2014-11-14
Apparently it's actually a good documentary.

In my view it's about freedom. The legalization of marijuana is perhaps a sort of litmus test for freedom. The fact peoples lives are being destroyed because they are committing victimless 'crimes' is obscene.
