      Spez, or some other party involved in the financialization of Reddit and has an incentive to tilt opinion maybe. It’s all the kind of things that seem to happen.

      I have seen the kind of thing you’re talking about plenty of times of Reddit and twitter in the past. Where users are shitting on a company, then all of these weird apologetic comments start coming out of nowhere, that nowhere near that many normal people would be spouting in defense of a shit move by a shit company.

      The lack of negativity and divisiveness right away was noticable on here. The responses all looked much more respectful too.

      I wish I had your faith in humanity, but I do believe that a lot of these idiots genuinely believe that spez is fighting against the ‘evil powermods’ to ‘protect the rights of the users’.
