The SquaredCircle moderator team is ironically one of the biggest reasons why AEW hatred is so bountiful online - you're banning people (permanently) for sarcastically saying things like "Better than expected" in an AEW TV Rating thread, and then they come places like here instead - or Twitter, or Instagram, or Facebook, or other places with thousands of eyeballs and no cult-like environment

Who wants to be in the negative on Reddit when you can be in the positive literally everywhere else? Your comments get auto-hidden with enough downvotes, made all the worse by the piling on that happens.
Modern social media has made Reddit into a hivemind where people rarely stray outside of meme comments. Instagram/Twitter accounts welcome the trolls because most TOS-compliant engagement is good, it leads to more likes/more followers, more ad placements, more opportunities. What does a Reddit Mod get if a thread gets 400 comments instead of 200? Or they add another 20k subscribers this month? They don't get shit, that's why they're ass-hurt all the time. All they have is controlling the narrative, but outside of Reddit, they're powerless.
