I've always found the unpopularopinion subreddit kind of paradoxical and retarded. People won't upvote opinions if they are truly unpopular so the content that makes it on top won't be unpopular opinions.

When they see something they cant fit into their narrative they have to make it broken to be able to not be applicable.

/r/steam is currently having a childish temper tantrum:



Current sticky post:


Some reactions in comments:




"Waaah waah they made us unprivate the sub! We will show them by allowing offtopic spam LOL". Mark my words, admins are going to replace the mods with the excuse of the place being unmoderated. Not the first time they would do that.

It's an eyerolling moment to see subreddits going private as if society would grind to a halt without their presence. These Reddit mods think they're all "hey man, we're fighting the establishment, maaaan!"

Spez is a strange guy, to say the least. But at least he gets paid to do what he does unlike these Reddit mods.

Americans make up slightly over half of reddit's traffic, yet it's only 0.91% of American social media traffic, and I'm sure those stats are probably even more abysmal in other countries.

Despite being less than 1 percent of Internet users, redditors make up over half of the cancerous faggots.

Another reminder about the admins. As faggy as the community is, remember it was spez and the higher-ups who hired Challenor and it was the reddit community that blacked out because reddit hired it. The admins developed this response from what they had to deal with when the website protested them hiring a literal trans pedophilia apologist. You should hope for gridlock, conflict, and this protest being dragged on with as much chaos and bad publicity for reddit as possible. The least ideal thing would be for this to resolve and blow over quickly. I'm all for the protest simply because it causes chaos at reddit. I actually do lean to supporting the devs of the unofficial apps because of the long history there and the fact that the reddit app has a cancer UI philosophy while RIF is no-bullshit... I'm the kind of guy who rants about the ribbon being introduced in Word 2007

I don't give a shit about blind people and I want reddit to implode. The less money Steve Huffman gets out of the IPO the better. Fuck that fag. Either way the tranny jannies go unpaid (presumably) so best outcome is money out of spez's pocket.

Reddit has hit behind "oh, it's all user content" for a long time. Now the curtain is withdrawn and we see openly that whatever the admins want, they get. You should celebrate when the admins do something about /r/politics, /r/worldnews, /r/entertainment removing their politically biased moderation... but they won't, because those subs are high-priority subs the admins watch over closely. Those are subs that the admins ran from the beginning and literally nobody questioned why this "user-run" site had admins at the top of the mod lists on the biggest subs. Maybe they deleted posts of people who brought it up, who knows? There are certain subs where if you break the rules the admins are more likely to site-ban you on and those are it.

As somebody who uses Reddit for gaming stuff, the purging of the jannies is well deserved. A few subreddits I follow are still restricted, and some are doing this "malicious compliance" bullshit.

If you put every child raping preddit janny (which is all of them) into a gas chamber tomorrow and replaced every 10 of them with just 1 paid pajeet, the site would improve immediately. Anyone who wants to be a janny gets the gas.

I don't either but California has some nasty-ass disability laws. Some blind faggot sued an online library and because it would have been prohibitively expensive to make it accessible to the blind through some kind of TTS thing, they had to shut it down.

So some blind cocksuckers in California should sue them there to fuck their shit up bigtime.

 

[Betonhaus]

Reddit should do a 24 hour full shutdown for "maintenance" and see how they like it.

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

I'm praying to Yahuwah that this shitfest ultimately causes Reddit to shut down for good. Anything and everything valuable about Reddit has already been archived and backed up many times over, and there's nothing unique to the subreddit of any given topic or community that can't be replicated by just opening up a dedicated forum, so the death of Reddit is really just taking a malignant tumor out of the Internet.

The death of Reddit might also lead to a shift in "Internet culture" in general, back towards forums and not Discord/Twitter.

Or more likely the exodus of colossally cancerous faggots from reddit will just cause the tumor to metastasize.

At the heights of 'Drumpfism', I always wondered why nobody went "Hey you know your old boss changed his name for optics too, let's call it the Daily Show with Jonathan Leibowitz."

I wonder about a lot, but first and foremost I wonder why, if I were in their position, wouldn’t I have killed myself for getting my opinions and talking points from late night comedians?

Also, someone should tell them the old boss was actually much funnier and wittier than this new dude. Redditors fawn over John Oliver and his show because he has a Br*tish accent, which of course means he’s smart! It reminds me a bit of The Big Bang Theory in that when you remove the “audience” laughter it doesn’t seem nearly as funny. Replace Oliver’s accent with an Indian or Chinese one and suddenly he sounds stupid as fuck to Americans.

How DARE null drive such slave labor on here? Are you guys going to revolt @AnOminous ?


I mean JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, I've moded for forums before as well. Never once did I think it deserved any kind of special consideration from the owners, much less pay. You're literally just going around making sure faggots don't spam up the place, post illegal shit, and making sure threads don't spiral into shit-flinging monkey cages.

But who am I kidding, we all know they make their work 200000x harder by trying to enforce ideological compliance instead of just moderating the damn subreddits.

I already did, that's why I'm retired staff not current.

Got in an argument with nool about politics and chimped out and quit. Also I was doubting my ability to be objective about modding a bunch of shit I was mad about. So I decided I liked shitposting more than pushing a broom.

Valid reason. Glad you're still around.

Plus it's a proven fact that all our best words, like fuck, shit, and cunt, all come from Germanic sources.

Counterpoint: Nigger comes from Latin.

have to observe he failed to get a comedy career in the UK because he's so unfunny

At the time he was trying to do that, I thought a big part of why people didn't like him was that we didn't need another Ben Elton. Trump Derangement Syndrome then made him even worse and I felt I was being too harsh on Ben Elton, who was at least able to make a good contribution to the writing of Blackadder.

The main thing that Ben Elton ever did that really pissed me the fuck off was dissing Benny Hill and blaming him by some incredibly tortured logic for rape statistics for his harmless "sexism" which was largely based on skits where the sleazy character Hill was playing got repeatedly humiliated for being a sex pest. It wasn't like this was portrayed as a good thing to do.

At least he realized he'd been a retard eventually.

Also he contributed a lot to The Young Ones.

https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/14cd2cl/being_a_fast_food_worker_is_the_best_job_and/

Don't know if normal link work here. But it a unpopular opinion post. It's a young individual just enjoying his first job at mcdonald? I presume. Obviously the post being a real unpopular opinion it didn't get much upvote.
What is interesting is the comment reaction showing the crab in a bucket mentality. Most of them complaining he will inevatly hate the job or he's a corporate chill in desguise

As someone who did work in fast food, I went in thinking all the reddit stories were gonna be true and I was gonna be screamed at all day, every day.

Turns out, contrary to popular belief, 90+% of fast food customers were "neutral" or better. And of the ones that did get pissy, most of them werent mad at you, but the establishment and were fairly decent about it (n.b. not exceptionally polite either, but it's not like they were cursing or screaming about it). As long as you didnt take it personally, you'd be fine. I invite all of you to go people-watching at your local mcdonalds if you have free time to test my assertions.

And as for wages? Yeah $11/hour might not be enough to raise a family on where the guy was, but if he was living with his parents or something, I'd guess it feels like a lot.

But anyway, enough powerleveling. The point is that the average redditoris fucking delusional, and hates getting reality checked.

So naturally you're assuming your experience would've been the same anywhere in the nation.

Perhaps I am and perhaps it's not true for everyone else. But I suppose it wouldnt be entirely accurate to believe the reddit stereotype is universally accurate either.

I'd also like to take the opportunity to point out that in subs like /talesfromretail
1. a lot of the stories sound fake, with mustache-twirling villian customers and such
2. even if they werent, (1 in 10? 20? 50? customers) x (a whole bunch of customers per day per redditor) x (Literally thousands of redditors) = a lot of stories per day, and because we see a lot of these stories, we might assume it's bad. Imagine if I got a hundred people to send you a picture of every green car they saw. You might assume green cars are quite common, but that's because we're excluding every other colour. On the other hand, if we logged every car, you'd see green cars are decisively a minority. Similarly, IF such subs literally logged every customer ever, I think the majority of posts would go like "Today a middle-aged white man walked in. Ordered a hamburger, fries and a diet coke. Paid in cash without incident."
