I'm pretty sure that byteball has done way more for Venezuela than Nano, there are some donors there that have given hundreds of dollars to different charities, I know this because the byteball representative of Venezuela is a friend.
Also Steem is a pretty big hit too and there are a lot of Venezuelans thriving here. There's a lot of volume still in Local, in fact it has increased since BTC fees came down to safer levels.
If anyone has any questions about crypto and Venezuela, I'll be happy to answer :-)
Both cryptocurrencies are questionable projects, to be honest.
Exactly, yet you never see many positive threads about Byteball on that subreddit. If ever they are in the two digit upvote level compared to Nano's three to four digit trending posts.
Reddit is quite easy to be gamed if done correctly, I remember when VeChain got permanently banned from that subreddit for constant brigading and manipulation through black market upvotes, etc. Even though they are still lightyears ahead of r/bitcoin for free speech there will always be things they can't fix in a centralized and closed database that doesn't let regular users check the voting activity of threads.
There's a couple dozen websites where you can buy upvotes for pennies, manipulation is obvious when you are 4 digit upvotes and barely any comments, I doubt it will get better any time soon but we have to keep our window on Reddit open too to bring users here and have them enjoy a crypto with a usable product and a blockchain you can actually interact with.

Yeah, they are often obvious but with a strong community behind it it can get difficult to judge. Not as easy as that guy in r/steemit last night who got record upvotes on our sub within hours. xD
:^) We will eventually break his fake news record
