I’ll have to stop looking at Reddit for real now.

I was checking it periodically to see if I was missing out on anything, but the entire front page is meticulously curated propaganda & ads now. The manipulation is especially obvious because they rarely even update it now. You’ll see the same shit stuck on popular for days.

But I’m not complaining. It canceled out any FOMO I might’ve had.

I don’t expect this ban hammer will help in their next earnings call.
