Already deleted from the r/doom front page despite hundreds of upvotes.

Example:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/yqjvzu/mick_gordon_po...



It isn't, it's on the top of the page, heavily upvoted and awarded. It seems one of the mods deleted their account though after admitting they have friends at Bethesda. https://i.imgur.com/8E7bOoQ.jpeg https://old.reddit.com/user/Mr-R00T


Almost all the biggest subs, or popular subs tied to a commercial product, have shitty moderators. They're either modding dozens of subs or have conflicts of interest with said products.


This is so widespread it really lends to the conspiracy (almost certainly true) that most viral reddit content is astroturfed. Perfect example, one of the premier journalists in esports, Richard Lewis, cannot have his excellent and often-ground-breaking content posted to the LoL subreddit because the mods are in bed with Riot.


It didn't show up in best, the top of the day, nor the top of the hour when I posted the above, but I am glad that it is pinned.

(I use Apollo but I was looking via the old. site; I wonder if that might be the cause?)


Fuck that guy - glad he's gone


It's sad any time I see fellow proletariat or PMC doing free work for billion dollar companies and to the detriment of other people just trying to make a living.


It seems pinned, not deleted
