      Brands don’t have to do shit like this. They have weird trolls with weirder parasocial relationships to intellectual property to do it for them, unprompted.

        It’s the rise spezkin. Super Reddit Hyper Loyalists so invested in their upcoming karma farming fortunes that any threat to Reddit gets met with scorched earth tactics.

        …I’m only kidding, I hope this doesn’t become a thing.

        He’d be. But his fanbois already do that for him so he doesn’t have to do it himself and worry about consequences.

            No, I mean his fanbois. His employees would get paid to do that stuff and then there would also again be a way for him to bear the consequences. His fanbois don’t get paid and he doesn’t bear the risk.
