This looks very suspicious to me. Thoughts?

    I mean... I guess that's something to notice abstractly. But /r/antiwork didn't become popular because of how many people heard about it on Bloomberg. They were pushing a popular message and it caught on.

    The people who were incited by the sub have nowhere to congregate for memes and shit. But the board did its job. The sentiment has been instilled. And the way the website pulled the rug on the base only further inflames the sense that business interests have way too much power and these social media sites are hopelessly corrupt.

    People are still looking for an outlet for their frustration. Reddit isn't going to be it. But the frustration persists and festers, none-the-less. I don't know what will eventually spark a bigger and more popular movement. But this generational time-bomb isn't being diffused by a knock-off sub run by investment bankers.
