I some times think about it and how shitty people are

    Nah.

    A couple idiots made the sub. But then it got popular and most of its users were way more rational than the people who created it.

    But they were still the ones in charge of it.

    So when Faux News reached out for an interview, they 100% believed they represented their user base and it would be a good idea.

    If I’m remembering right, the mod didn’t even announce they were doing it. The sub didn’t find out till it was aired.

    And Faux portrayed the idiot that came on as a perfect representation of all users of the sub.

      Yeah the mod didn’t announce they were doing it, there was an active top level post saying the community didn’t want anyone to take the interview.

      They went rogue, did it anyway, made the subreddit and themselves look like a fucking dunce and a half. They didn’t even clean their god damn room, there was like dirty laundry and shit in the background.

      Asinine. It could’ve been a catalyst moment for a lot of people if someone with some media training had taken the interview, or if we had said nothing.
