Screenshot included so you do not have to browse to it. Literally. I’m not even joking. The entire subreddit is 2 days old (founded immediately after the AMA) and populated+moderated exclusively by accounts less than 6 months old following standard generic name schemes and posting comments that reek of chatGPT generated responses.
This is the most hilarious, saddest, most obviously transparent attempt at propaganda astroturfing I have ever seen.
Spez. Get a bloody life, my dude.
I just looked at their pinned post and it’s 100% satire and if you think otherwise you’ve never been on satire sub before
What’s Not True
-
Mr. Huffman has never lied or been dishonest. He has been 100% forward throughout this whole process.
-
That apps “can’t afford” to pay the reasonable fees Mr. Huffman is requesting. Many of them are embroiled in inefficiency, and even the highest cited api costs on their part have still been well within reason.
-
Mr. Huffman’s actions won’t “kill” reddit. In fact, the changes he id making are necessary to ensure that reddit continues to thrive.
For all these reasons and many more, we at /r/FriendsofSpez #standwithhuffman, and you should too!

OP is just a victim of Poe’s Law. :)
Illustrates well problem with satire and how subs like pcm become what they are. Some people don’t get satire.
I mean this guy almost got me too.

Not sure if you’re unaware it is obvious parody or if you’re being “meta” or whatever
ah, no. Read some of the comments in the sub, I tried talking to a few, they are very much not parody.
Look at numbers 4., 9. and 11. in your screenshot. Those are obvious jokes.
Keep in mind that some people are really dedicated to their parodies, just look at the circlejerk subs.
What a way to discover you don’t get satire - but that might be more common than we think.
It wouldn’t be a good satire sub when they would break their role.
Also: sorry to bring it to you this way but r/BanVideoGames is satire too. The people there don’t actually believe that they’re on Facebook and are writing comments with the macrowave oven on the ISS
Just like how /r/LoveForLandchads isn’t a parody… The whole point of a parody is that they stick with the joke.
Obvious satire, and pretty funny as well
Sub looks like a satire. I refuse to believe this people are legit
yeah that’s a parody sub
I see that torrent site 😜
RIP to RARBG. OP might as well delete that bookmark.
No, damnit! I can’t let go…
There’s no way this isn’t some shitposter lmao
This 100% is a joke sub. Everyone who believes this is real has never been to a real satire sub like r/LoveForLandlords or r/BanVideoGames
