BTW, someone mentioned that it's "she", not "he"... I thought it was "her" (just crawled out of bed) until I heard the interview, then I thought "him". I have no clue.... but it only adds to the mystique. I just hope they don't off themselves over this due to the crap that they've now lined themselves up for... because it really is quite sad.
Jesse Watters’ eyes were actually glittering when the mod said he (she?) wanted to be a philosophy teacher.
it actually said “laziness is a virtue.” no way SNL passes up on this right? Or maybe they just leave it as the perfect spectacle that it was
I'm laughing at how so many people on Reddit thought that being a casual member of a subreddit was somehow constituting a movement or organization. "That interview killed the movement!" LOL. What "movement"? What "organization"? Fucking retards. Obviously not a CEO among the bunch.
I used to browse r/antiwork just to see how incredibly…not organized it was. Sometimes there were some coherent discussions but mainly it was just trivial bullshit. Anyway, I say “used to” because now it’s private.
I think they are doing some cleaning up of that subreddit or whatever. The alert said it was temporarily taken down. It said they would be back.
I think it's a distinct possibility. They are getting a lot of heat, and they don't seem like the healthiest and most well-supported type to begin with. Brings to mind the Twitter axiom of "Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it." Being the Twitter main character has broken people who are in the public eye for a living (Lindsay Ellis basically quit her career after an anodyne tweet about Raya and the Last Dragon riled up Twitter) and far from being used to criticism and dogpiling, this antiwork mod looks like a veritable hermit. I have zero faith that they're equipped to handle this.
Surprising how something like r/SmallDickProblems is NOT private— and to add, is also THE funniest subreddit and always will be. Actually, it’s probably the funniest thing on the internet period.
Reddit is such a odd cross-section of people. On one end you gave this person from an anti-work subreddit whose media appearance was absolute train wreck. On the other end, you have this guy from WSB: Who does multiple media appearances, talks to Congress and clears $40M daytrading.
SNL is specifically and only bullshit propaganda for the far left now, like the Simpsons. I doubt they’d try to vilify this loser in any way.
SNL can tilt any way it wants, it just has to be funny. Which it isn't and hasn't been for a while. The funniest they've been in years is when Eddie Murphy hosted a couple years ago, and that was entirely due to Eddie Murphy.
Their only funny skits usually involve the writers ruling the idea off from all outside source, like when Bill Burr hosted. But stack ANYTHING nowadays against the SNL golden era of 1989-1996 and it looks like shit.
r/antiwork is back, with fresh drama for your llama. Looking like a full on subscriber revolt at this point.
It’s funny that they think the sub was held in some kind of esteemed regard before the interview and that it needs to be salvaged to maintain their high-minded ideals.
I'm just here to watch them dunk on some 21 year old who describes himself as "long-term unemployed."
Funny? It's fucking delusional. Some of them honestly think that just by posting funny "I quit" stories on a fucking subreddit they were causing some magical social change. I think some of them relate to the mod in question more than they care to believe.
I like the note on their stickied post that the mod was removed because of some sexual assault allegations and not because their interview was a disaster. The funny part is, they’re spending so much time moderating a sub about not working, they are essentially working for Reddit for free, which is ironically worse than the paying job they claimed to have quit but don’t realize it.
