My tinfoil hat theory on how and why she took down her Reddit snark page
I thought I’d create a post where we can discuss our theories! Here’s mine…
I think when she met with the law firm to convince them to send Janette the cease and desist letter she also got advice on how to shut down her rapidly growing snark page. She knows that the two are interconnected and Janette is getting most of her information from Reddit snarkers/former “fans”. This TERRIFIES her as she knows the truth will eventually come out.
I don’t think Knix or SI had anything to do with it, nor do I think Reddit cares about a nobody from Canada. I think she either 1. Reported based on a (likely exaggerated) violation that she knew Reddit would take seriously or 2. Had her cronies overwhelm the reporting system in a short amount of time. I think the latter is more likely, or at least in combination with 1.
I also don’t think the fact that Reddit is rapidly removing similar subs is related. I think they have tagged keywords that lead to subs automatically being removed, or can somehow see when former sub members congregate elsewhere (even completely private subs are being removed). For this reason I think we need to be careful when commenting about TBP on other influencer snark subs.
Thoughts? I probably didn’t share anything new here but ranged to get it out! Regardless of what happens, SNL will not win as the cat is already out of the bag and it’s the only reason she’s doubling down so hard.
I think it's definitely possible! I'm not fully sure.
Personally, I do find the timing a bit suspicious. This happened right after several posts that also mentioned Knix being complicit over the weekend and also within a day of a post showing a bunch of negative Glassdoor reviews. I don't know if knix had actual involvement here.
I also think it's possible that we just received an influx of reports and Reddit canned us as a result. However, I also really don't believe we were actually in violation of reddit TOS. So I hope the mods are able to have luck winning an appeal.
Fair enough! Maybe Joanna and SNL joined forces? SNL probably clued her in that less than flattering things were being shared about her too (rightfully).
Agreed that I don’t think the sub was in violation of anything. The mods at minimum should have received a warning.
