Fox News Damages Antiwork
Share
A story about how a Reddit moderator from r/antiwork went on Fox News against the community's wishes and damaged the movement's credibility.
"There was this funny clip where they took a mod from r/antiwork and they went on Fox News. The person got destroyed - it was embarrassing. The subreddit didn't like it because they felt it was a horrible representation on TV and didn't articulate their points well.
The community had rules around not doing media appearances unless they agreed on the message first. This person went rogue and did it anyway. They basically embarrassed themselves, and it was kind of like the end of the movement's momentum.
I didn't like how it played out though - this person clearly wasn't that smart, and it was very easy for Fox News to set them up to look silly in those cases."
