Like literally promoting billionaire propaganda on an unrelated sports sub, and anyone who questions this billionaire is literally evil. What a bunch of brainwashing bullshit. How people still trust Bill Gates at this point is beyond me, and I'm saying this as someone who used to be a big fan of Bill Gates

I posed a comment to that effect and immediately got -6 downvotes in literally 1 minute, at 4am in the morning... https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/hyno0e/when_lewis_hamilton_turns_out_to_be_antivax/fzdxuxl/

Reddit is so filled to the gills with propaganda, it's absolutely insufferable

Propaganda seeping into even hobby-focused subs is insane.

I don't see how people can still use Reddit. I think they've just got Stockholm Syndrome, where Reddit seems like the biggest forum around, and they don't know of any alternatives.

    Yeah I've been doing that more and more. The controversial comments are usually the good ones on reddit, but even that is curated.

    What was your comment? It was deleted too quickly to have been archived.

    Oh it all got deleted? I didn't realize, it was all shadow-deleted apparently.

    Questioning Bill Gates isn't "being anti-vax"

    Wtf is this billionaire worship

    That was all I said. It's also my most controversial comment of the day so it was probably about +30 and -63 or so

    In Chrome open up your comment in an incognito window. It’ll show as removed to other people, even though it’ll still show for you.

    I tried talking sense in that thread and people went wild on me.

    I responded with links and explanations.

    They didn’t like that

    He could have become the best pancake flipper. So much potential wasted to evil.
