As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there’s been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it’s fine to disagree, I’m finding it suspicious that there weren’t comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

    I don’t find the absence of criticism suspicious. The petition makes sense. It aims to solve a problem that affects many individuals and a significant part of human culture.

    What I do find suspicious is the sudden emergence of criticism now that it looks like it might succeed. I smell astroturfing and media manipulation.

      As the petition got more successful it became a bigger topic on here. Bigger topics draw more opinions.

      I don’t find it suspicious. Bring attention to it and it’ll get more votes. Ignore it and it’ll go away.

      Now that it’s passed multiple thresholds and is gained a lot of support. They will not try and stop it.
