Reply to comment by ImYoGrandpaw in When did this sub go from advice and talks of quality to survivors bias posts? Is there a sub that better matches how this was years ago? by xSympl

Literally just people who complain ab the dumbest shit & random “i dont agree with this” posts. It’s so annoying. Anyone who disagrees gets like 300+ downvotes. I’m all for saying fuck the company, but when the company says “you can’t spend 3 hours in the bathroom please” idk if you can reply with “how unfair! Gotta be against worker rights”

Tbf it's Anti work not "reasonable requests only" or something. If anything they should double down ironically

That’s fair! I mean it is literally that. Can’t knock it. But does annoy me. But entertains me as well so I haven’t left lol.

Maybe the name of the sub is kind of the problem - it’s dramatic and gets attention but in the end is kind of vague and also hyperbole, which means that there are a huge range of possible interpretations about what it means. So internal fighting starts almost immediately and in the end whatever direction the sub (or movement) goes, most people will be pissed off that it’s going off the rails.

Exactly like “Abolish the police” in 2020. Wow, so dramatic! What does abolish really mean though? Queue 2+ years of infighting while every reasonable person who would have supported the movement walks away.
