r/drama: /r/esist campaigns to shut down T_D by boycotting Reddit gold, has been gilded 10 times so far. Forseeable consequence or master scam? Debate ensues.

This is the only thing good about gold - that it can't be countered like votes. So if one guy wants to troll with it he can, no matter how much the hivemind sides against him.

Nice try Java based piece of shit

1 IAintThatGuy 2017-08-13

Yup never since so much gold since the last days of FPH (I miss FPH).

1 hotblondeboob 2017-08-13

It was a very fun sub indeed.

1 Ed_ButteredToast 2017-08-13

Bad bot

If I put my tin foil hat on my baseless conspiracy theory would be that anytime large groups try to boycott gold on reddit, admins just start gilding everyone in the thread, no matter the reasoning.

/u/randomgoes let me tell you about how Skippy Podesta is colluding with people like Jeffery Epstein to smuggle kids in a DC based pedophile ring. Look up Madeleine McCann to get started

1 MakeAmericaSageAgain 2017-08-13

This but unironically

1 flipkt 2017-08-13

It's not too far out there as far as conspiracy theories go. Admins have access to backend code which adds the gold star next to usernames, admins have admitted that they gild comments using their admin access, and they have an incentive to make people who call for boycotting reddit gold to look like retards. Am I missing something?

1 clavulanate 2017-08-13

it's 1000x more likely it's just trolls (probably from t_d) gilding them

1 Ranilen 2017-08-13

They have been willing to spend some of their tendie allowance on trolling before, so there's precedent.

1 NationalDenbt 2017-08-13

T_D have been boycotting Reddit gold themselves for ages now though.

1 Ranilen 2017-08-13

The ridiculousness of the admins sitting on reddit all day watching for spergouts in obscure subs instead of working/enjoying time off from work?

You can't generalize like /r/drama is normal people, or even normal reddit users.

1 flipkt 2017-08-13

In my defense though, admins have done far more pathetic things.

1 randomgoes 2017-08-13

Lol I said in my next comment that even I didn't believe myself.

1 SlavophilesAnonymous 2017-08-13

Reddit gold is the master scam.

1 aliceunknown 2017-08-13

By the jews.

1 holy_black_on_a_popo 2017-08-13

It's raining gold all through that bitch.

Fucking retards

1 thesnakeinthegarden 2017-08-13

It's this weird sort of obsession, where people constantly dwell on subs that espouse opposition opinions, taking screen shots and making meemees about how stupid the other side is. T_D talks shit about how terrible reddit is all the time, and then goes and pays reddit because r/esist decides they don't want to pay reddit. r/esist boycotts new balance because neo nazis hail it as the shoe of the uber mensch. T_D boycotts anything that's hypocritical of neos and trump. This could all be so much more easily, and peacefully solved if they all sat down in a closed off room and were made to frankly discuss their political differences. They would probably find that they had more in common than anyone suspected and join hands and then decide to do what's right and best for the country by drowning themselves in their own innards.

1 the_popcorn_pisser 2017-08-13

lol so why do you assume it was T_D who bought all that gold?

1 wolfsktaag 2017-08-13

because that story seemed really cool in his head

1 thesnakeinthegarden 2017-08-13

i have over estimated intelligence in the past.

It's this weird sort of obsession, where people constantly dwell on subs that espouse opposition opinions, taking screen shots and making meemees about how stupid the other side is.

If you're done wasting oxygen then I'd like to point out that that is literally the entire point of this subreddit.

1 thesnakeinthegarden 2017-08-13

i have to jerk off to something... shrug

1 HodorTheDoorHolder 2017-08-13

We should totally ban Reddit Gold everyone! ;) ;) ...

1 XhotwheelsloverX 2017-08-13

/r/esists is still a thing? I thought they all moved to /r/politicalhumor or something.

1 SperglockHolmes 2017-08-13

People at T_D hate reddit though, so giving reddit less money would just make them happy.

1 Marowacked 2017-08-13

Didn't this shit happen in the middle of The Fappening too?
