This is the heart of Reddit - total coordination of random users uniting for a common cause and message.
What’s the back story for using John Oliver? What did I miss🤔
I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn’t care less about namecalling.
-
The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description…
-
Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture “sticking it to the man” while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that’s still reaming them
-
Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY’RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations
Pretty sure most awards given are free. My account has a bunch of coins on it for some reason.
I thought the free awards thing stopped a while back. I’d be surprised if a lot of people still had them
It helps that he’s a great person.
Plus, he’s reacted to people using his image in unusual ways before. He has an absolutely hilarious episode where he responds to someone mass generating AI created art of him in love with a cabbage. He noted the AI did a poor job, presumably through lack of adequate training data, so he married a cabbage in camera to help provide said training data!
Also, he might run it on his show, which adds fuel to the Reddit bonfire.
