      It’s less that it was the target of mockery and more like the target of whining. Like, “waaaaaaahh they mentioned r/hailcorporate again! This hurts my fee fees!”. With then bootlicking mods using automod to filter out mentions of that sub.

      Case in point yes, you’re right that it would be even less feasible now than it was before.
