The Reddit Hot Posts API dumped the four-post Loop-tour walkout stack that defined September 16. What remains of that story is a single $1 million pledge at rank 10.
The rest of the board is image-and-clip culture: a labor slogan, a street video, a drone-washes-dog demo, and a New Jersey lost-pet drone. Rank 8 is the only item that matches a national news desk.
