that's quite the theory.... does the bot somehow prevent posts from those places? were there more instances of popular posts from those places before the bot?

I wouldn’t say it’s a theory. Just my thoughts / speculation. I would speculate that people who are pushing out RT / Alex Jones level content would be more hesitant to do so if there would be a big “this is not a reliable news source” sticker next to it.

I would speculate that people who point Alex Jones / RT stuff just hope people read the article without thinking about where it comes from.
