So I checked out reddit after a long time and was going through the top of r/videogames subreddit and I could clearly see a pattern in most of the posts there. Posts were mostly like "what game ______ for you?" or "what game _____ like this?" Now I could be wrong but it doesn't feel 'organic' (if that's correct way to put it). It's like these are put up intentionally. Thoughts?

Reddit isn't the only place this is happening.

Nice to know there are other monkeys on this planet that can open their fucking eyes.

Anyone notice the amount of memes used as free advertising? Disney has been doing it for a while, and crushed it with the mini Yoda in that shit TV show.

Fuck Disney.

I'm 100% sure Baby Yoda was specifically created to sell merchandise.

The original Star Wars would never have specifically created a character just to sell merchandise...

[-] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah and that's when star wars started to turn to shit.

So Return of the Jedi is shit? Because Han Solo was supposed to die in this movie. But because of Toy sales George Lucas didn't kill him.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
