    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

        People could also dump their already purchased coins into fuck spez posts to be fair. Just because they gave an award here doesn’t mean they specifically purchased it for that occasion.

        Pretty sure most awards given are free. My account has a bunch of coins on it for some reason.
