Site with over a million users and one of the biggest agitprop vehicles of the last five years and now it's private. Lol. Lmao.
Edit: Ok, now the mods are saying making the site private is only temporary while they "deal with the cleanup from ongoing brigading."
The reason I think it was an OP is because I can't think of how you could have done the interview any worse if you were indeed trying to sabotage the movement. The interviewer even made the background of their house (didn't use a false background) as messy as possible. Anybody who goes on TV knows millions of people are going to see them only at a glance and make a snap judgement, the interviewee went out of their way to make the quick look at themselves as bad as possible.
I agree. It's completely unrealistic to think that Reddit mods of all people actually represent the left or the working class, especially on such a high-traffic sub. In one fell swoop the entire subreddit looked as bad as possible and destroyed any of its credibility, and it was all because of the mod team.
