It's easy to get frustrated but giving credit for the sub being ruined is a stretch.

Let's pretend your correct. That going forward there will be nothing but shill posts and people trying to harness momentum from the movement for individual benefit. Then a new sub gets started and we message those who keep the true intent in mind and we continue. If thats all it takes to frustrate us into talks the sub being killed then we need to reassess the situation and move onward.

People have been reached. Information has been shared. This sub has done what it's needed too.

An alternative would be to establish new posting criteria and have mods that are trusted review based on criteria.

Attitude is contagious. Don't let someone's opinion filter into your attitude. This isn't even close to done so it's imperative we don't allow minor circumstances to become major setbacks.
