Does anyone else remember when "they" broke up the anti-work movement on reddit by putting a mod on fox news then dividing the community by creating the work reform sub?

I some times think about it and how shitty people are
You're viewing a single thread.
I feel like I was watching a very different situation than the rest of you were.
First off, the antiwork subreddit didn't actually accomplish anything. It was mostly people complaining about bad/illegal practices at their jobs, and literally nothing changing.
Second, things didn't die after that mod appearance. It drew attention to many users that the mods had a different goal than they did, but that didn't change the atmosphere of the posts for very long. The work_reform sub did become more popular, and antiwork still kept getting just as many people complaining about bad practices.
And neither sub got people organized, neither sub changed attitudes, and neither sub made a difference.
I disagree but it didn't accomplish anything. It made people aware that they are not alone in their situation and thinking. It created community. This also helped fuel the great resignation and encouraged people to do better for themselves. To not keep running on the wheel for a broken and abusive system. That's far from nothing.
Even if it never accomplished nothing before the Fox News interview, isn't it interesting Fox felt the need to confront it?
Fox just used it to back their generational culture war theme for another segment
I've watched Fox once in the past year and that's exactly how they arranged their segments, connecting two loosely related things to push a singular agenda...
... Never saw the AntiWork thing, I just know how it went down.
