So many bad actors on reddit, I blame my own naivete for not realizing that so many accounts are being run by employees of major companies sent to defend the company's interests.

It took me way too long to realize that the mods for game's subreddit that I play way too much are actually the devs for the game

They were always extremely critical of any suggestions for improving the game that were actually genuinely good constructive suggestions

I thought they were just being a-holes, turns out they weren't just a-holes
