The sub literally died overnight. Crazy to witness in real time. A lot of people had/have legitimate grievances about how work and labor are handled in the US and this was during and immediately after COVID lockdowns. One basement dwelling, stereotypical reddit mod delegitimized an entire movement with a single interview on Fox “news”.

No one knew they had been contacted and clearly they had no media training; I’m talking clearly unbathed, wearing dirty clothes, blurry camera/video, and spinning in their chair while talking like a school child. To say it was bad is an understatement.

Support fractured and multiple subreddits were formed to distance themselves from /r/antiwork. It was actually sad to see. There was like a week or two of fighting on reddit about it. Shit like that makes you realize how effective counter-intelligence programs are. All you need is one weak link and a moment of opportunity
