Do you consider the linked domains to be spam (e.g stolen articles from other websites filled with ads)?
Supre.me does steal legitimate articles.
But the more insidious thing is they will post blatantly false articles as well.
So the "real" articles will get them points and credibility. Then 1 in 10 articles will be completely made up.
Things like quoting politician's that they never actually said.
Citing riots in places where there aren't any.
Supre.me is a missinformation site.
That is what I noticed from them on voat.
They started low level lying on voat and grew more blatant as their true posts got them more points and credibility.
If you don't ban the site now at least watch them over the next month. See if they grow more blatant.
I also noticed when I was first to comment and I called spam they would delete the lying articles.

Interesting.
Can you provide us at least like 10 recent examples? If that's the case we'll contact op and take proper actions.
Thanks for your report.
Well voat is gone so I can't provide evidence.
And they are still new here so they aren't posting lies yet.
We will see if they follow the same pattern as voat.
Well I can't speak to ads, because I never see ads, and if I do I figure out how it got past my hosts file, browser extensions, etc.
I do remember usasupreme to be very click-baity though. The article recently linked was just a basic write-up to give a little context for the jewtube video. The video could have been linked directly IMO. I don't know about everyone else - for me the expando worked for that article, but the video wouldn't load - forcing any user here who wanted to see the video to load the site.
When I share stuff to Poal I try to give the "meat & potatoes" to users, and put the "broth" in context if they want to leave the site and explore more. I prefer content that embeds directly here, with the source given if possible. Posts like that force me to leave Poal and I don't like them.
Haven't checked out the other sites, just noticed the pattern of mostly one user linking to them. I know you also shared stuff from defiantamerica.com I included that one because only a handful had (at least on the first page).
