Anyways, in the last few days I’ve noticed that for some reason, especially on the r/piracy sub (although other subs are of course no exception), that there has been a more positive sentiment towards spez (the CEO of Reddit) and a very negative one against the mods and the protest.
Do we even know if these are actual real humans (aka: not reddit bots, admins, or shills)?
We know 100% that spez made hundreds of bots in 2012 to fake "busy-ness", and that was when reddit was started.
That's fine. I'm sure the passive masses will show back up.
The real problem is content creators and such are or have already left. And well, I'm here, as are all of you!
Passive consumers are a massive force, and will go where the wind blows. But they actively do little. And, about them... Who cares?
One group is full of hundred-millionaires. The other group is full of destitute people fleeing their home countries due to horrific conditions.
Given that capitalism does put a price on people, that's obviously the metric used to determine who to help.
Unfortunately, the only "hammering" most of the democrats are doing is fearmongering-to-donate to their campaign.
The progressive democrats are a whole different story. They're the ones supporting subversive traveling doctors to facilitate bodily autonomy rights.
Sometimes, those views just sort of have a way of imploding.
