A man named Joseph Neibich sued Reddit for defamation with intent to unmask 50 anonymous /r/Screenwriting members, but, unsurprisingly, he failed. He then tried to have this case sealed, but, once again, he was denied. So, now, he has actually hired people to create positive posts about how totally amazing he is in order to manipulate algorithms about his case and his /r/Screenwriting harassment on search engines.

Below is the original drama from 2021:

https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/l5cbbs/rscreenwriting_under_fire_as_a_screenplay_contest/

https://old.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/mkfuuz/fyi_these_screenwriting_contests_operated_by_a/

Screenwriters flagged a group of scam contests that exploited aspiring writers by race, gender, sexuality, religion, and/or location for $50+ per entry and then posted warnings on /r/Screenwriting. The contest manager, a fledgling middle-aged screenwriter from Arizona, threatened to sue Reddit if the original posts weren't removed. The moderators stood their ground and case 20STCV10291 was filed in an LA Circuit Court. Over the course of 2 years, that contest manager harassed /r/screenwriting members, both on social media and by calling them personally once he learned their true identities that had been hidden behind the JOHN/JANE DOE ones.

The case lagged on until the contest manager and other parties settled out of court, and it was dismissed in 2021. The contest manager hired online reputation services to remove any mention of his name in case 20STCV10291 from the internet. For example: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx v. Reddit Inc - Trellis Law or Santa Clara Law's Digital Commons.

Long after Reddit was dismissed in this legal case, the contest manager continued to harass one of /r/Screenwriting's moderators, who then posted the following warning:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/ntxqul/important_if_you_have_been_harassed_by_joseph/

Nobody really cared about this lawsuit anymore. That is, until 2023, when Reddit admins posted Reddit's Defense of Section 230 to the Supreme Court, which actually referenced the original /r/SubredditDrama post linked above.

TL;DR: The Supreme Court is hearing for the first time a case regarding Section 230, a decades-old internet law that provides important legal protections for anyone who moderates, votes on, or deals with other people's content online.

Now, this embarrassing old legal case - 20STCV10291 Neibich v. Reddit - would actually be referenced by the largest court in the United States.

To update /r/Screenwriting about the Reddit Amicus Brief, moderator /u/wemustburncarthage posted the thread /r/Screenwriting mentioned in the Reddit Amicus Brief to SCOTUS. She mentioned some context about the contest manager's ongoing behavior:

He has stalked, harassed and defamed many of us for calling out his fraud, and while some of us were lucky to receive pro bono legal representation (me included, thanks to the support mentioned in this brief) not all of us had that option, and were put to unjust expense.

A lot of us are still recipients of his obnoxious attention seeking behaviour, hedged under the guise of his delusional belief in his own importance as an industry player. He's not an industry player. He's a citation in a landmark US Supreme Court case, forever enshrined in that legal history, defined in precisely the character he deserves.

Later in 2023, the contest manager decides to file a Request to Seal Records in order to completely hide his case from the public. While that's going on, something weird begins to happen on Reddit...

The username /u/JeffreyJosephNeibich was registered on Reddit and is quickly suspended before he can post anything (because any user name with josephneibich in it is automatically suspended).

/u/JeffreyJosNeibich (now suspended) then pops up instead and begins to spam their user page with random positive facts about the contest manager (all of these have now been deleted, of course):

His love for animals:

Love helping animals get adopted with my hubby Jeffrey Joseph Neibich

Hiking trips with his fictitious wife, "Hillary":

Hillary L Neibich is camping with Jeffrey Joseph Neibich at HorseShoe Bend

And, of course, helping the homeless:

Joseph Neibich took his only day off last week to help a homeless woman find housing.

(The only comment on the post about was from him, and it simply said "Yea." This dude genuinely thought that confirming a post that he himself made would lend it credibility. I also love that he imagines that he's a great script writer, yet that's the best fake story that he could invent to venerate himself. It legitimately reads like North Korean propaganda for Kim Jong-Un.)

Once the contest manager's request to seal all records was denied by the LA Court, a new subreddit popped up in the hopes of overshadowing negative search results from Google:

/r/JosephNeibich (now set to private) - "All about the life and works of Joseph Neibich"

Posts were made on the subreddit such as:

Life and Work of Joseph Neibich

Joseph Neibich's journey in the film industry is a story of passion, creativity, and hard work. From his early days in marketing at...

Biography of Joseph Neibich:

Joseph started his career in film in 1997, when he moved to Los Angeles and began working in marketing at Paramount Pictures. This experience...

Joseph Neibich Charity Works

...and so forth.

Try it for yourself by searching for "reddit neibich" on Google. Instead of information about the previously mentioned case, you're instead greeted with results about how wonderful and amazing this heroic human being is.

The posts on /r/JosephNeibich came with totally legitimate comments from completely real Redditors such as...

/u/Fresh-Ad8642 (now suspended):

I like it I like it

I like

I like

I like it

/u/Sweet_Peet_Scotch (now suspended):

So great and powerful

So great and powerful

So great and powerful

/u/Intelligent-Love6969 (now suspended):

Silly love

/u/Street-Ad-6308:

Joseph Neibich is great consumer advocate! I love it.

And some other totally earnest new Reddit accounts who just happened to only post about Joseph Neibich:

/u/Academic-CatLover (now suspended)

/u/SeaworthyDiver676

/u/DesignerMortgage9799

/u/TinyWarrior4Love

In other words, a Redditor has been hired by Joseph Neibich to post on /r/JosephNeibich in order to make Joseph Neibich look better on Google search results. Right before that user began posting about Neibich, however, they only concentrated on OnlyFans updates.

A parody subreddit, /r/JosephNeib-word (get it? ), has also been set up.

Will it work? Or will Joseph Neibich go back to his old ways where he is emailing moderators threatening legal action? Whatever happens, we know one thing: it will be far more entertaining than any script that Neibich could ever write.

post stream pod cast : it was a scuffed stream, turn me into a street 10:26

• the stream was both busted and scuffed

• Jinxthinker's computer continued to do whatever it wanted. It's possibly been highjacked by malicious actors

• Jinxthinker was heavily ingesting today: Chili (not b-word made, spicy), donuts, and Haribos. He then had to puke because his shit smelled really bad

• He's considering taking a sabbatical from streaming because it's too hot. Streaming is a summer thing but today is winter

• He didn't buy the new Elden Ring DLC because it's cracked, busted, and broken

• Jinxthinker found a new AI to make s*x type pictures. He likes the potty pictures 3:20

• He's going to have to stay awake until 9am to get his groceries delivered from Tesco.

• Jinxthinker shaved his pubes because he might get called on for a spontaneous sexual act

• 5:20

• The Elden Ring DLC looks like a mobile porn game

• He ordered 2 cases of Monster energy drink which which jinxmother will deliver. He also buys cigarettes in bulk now 7:30

• 

• we go to listen to the new fricking poppy

• He has only half a roll of potty paper left and no fricking bleach to clean with

• Jinxthinker ate beans on toast like Oliver Twist

!jinxthinkers how many cases of Monster do you order at a time?

People really have to stop with the “it creates jobs” bullshit because that's what it is. Everyone is acting like if ROH or even AEW didn't exist then so many would be out of work and doing nothing when that's not true. If ROH didn't exist so of these well know top people would make pretty good money on the indies and be perfectly fine. Just look at Matt Cardona. Could he sign with AEW, TNA, NJPW, or back to WWE and sign for millions a year? Yes he could but he's killing it on the indies and is happy. For the not so well known people they still would have a job on the indies and prob would have to grind but they still would have a job and not be out of work. They knew what they were getting into when deciding on this career path. So people really need to stop with the “it creates jobs and if goes away they would lose their jobs” bullshit (-31)

Podcasters, wrestlers and fans are apparently all in agreement that TNA is somehow run better, has more stories than and makes more sense in the ring than AEW. TNA does 5,000 PPV buys. AEW does 140-150,000 every time. Why? (28)

Because AEW had the money to load their roster from day one and use the influence they had as NFL owners to foster negotiations with television networks? (-16)

The exclusive negotiating window with WBD is just about to end some people need to understand there are probably a lot of things in play right now and you'll realize why they're doing the things they're doing relatively soon. AEW and Tony should never take advice specifically business advice from anyone online because they would have been out of business right now based on some of the things I've been seeing. If Tony can get a deal out of this ROH brand that's a huge win considering how well they've already done with PPV's and subs so far. (9)

This is where wrestling fans need to take their goggles off and think of this like any other show. ROH as a brand has the stench of death on it. Ask yourself how many shows manage to come back to TV after being cancelled. TV programmers would rather try a new show than something that was a proven failure on their last network, If the whole idea was to get another show on TV I wouldve kept the ROH branding for the library, then rebranded the actual weekly TV to something else (0)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

There's room on the main shows for them. Too many useless wrestlers on ROH. The roster as a whole is too big. It's great to rotate wrestlers but at some point you have to ask why are we forcing people to pay for this. Put it on Rampage and have those heavyweights be on every week. (-2)

Useless to whom? Who are you to call anyone useless? You just have a hot take and are flat wrong. (8)

"If only you knew how bad things really are..."

OP what is your definition of beautiful?

Na poverty cause am, even his parents supported the marriage.😂

It's LOVE

Even if money was a consideration

How did you know? Are you that close to the guy?

As a parent, what would your reaction be if your son comes home and tell you he would be getting married to this white lady

How their parents consent and act along still baffles me. Which kind of parents some of una get?

This is Luminouz dreams

i would simply get on my knees and start crying and feel like a failure as a father...

As for me oo, na disowning .. From who would he says he learned that from?

Upon all the beautiful ladies out there, why arugbo ojo?

i cant disown such child but i sure will be very disappointed in his life choices.... same if my daughter was Regina marrying Ned.

The hustle is real.

Congratulations even the wife is older then the guy mother

Poverty.

Raised a son who ended up being a gold/visa digger.

All these dregs of that these men are always looking up with angry

No one shouting evening newspaper now even though this newspaper is probably last week's news paper.

Hypocritical lot.

This is job not marriage. He is on duty.

I am sure he is also the houseboy and she is his client and he is aiming for money or visa. Obviously.

At this point in the thread, a female narialand user from the UK "shaybebaby" starts arguing with "luminouz"

luminouz is an egotistical guy who talks about "the redpill" a lot and describes himself as a "'fine butt mudafricker", he claims to have plenty of wives, and it is his mission to set men free from witches like the commenters he is arguing with

luminouz is also insulting someone EreluRoz and calling him "fishlips" so it's hard to untangle the comment chain where he begins fighting with shaybebaby

This is tiresome wall of screenshots, so I'm putting it in a spoiler

When oyibo man come to marry Nigerian they will marry a young girl, but if Nigerian man want to marry oyibo they will marry old woman, pls someone should tell me the reason.
