There are a surprising number of Apple and Tesla posts lately. While I am not yet convinced it is being outright paid for, but there does seem to be a higher concentration of specific brand advocacy here than there used to be. I wonder if it has to do with so many people also being share holders with a vested interest in their success?

Would also explain why every single "union vs Tesla" story disappears so quickly from the frontpage.

I’ve made a similar observation before. Most “negative” Tesla posts disappear quickly, even though they seemingly have enough votes and comments to stay up. Probably flagged to death.

Comments wrt Tesla/Musk-related stories are also much less diverse and more rage-laden in content. Sentences are also more likely to start with The Brand Name than otherwise, as it'd be worded in universe in The Truman Show. It's just weird.

And a surprisingly high number of people here are defending a false advertising. Wow.
