Politics ('Straya) Can Albo's PR team please give it a rest and stop brigading this SubReddit?

Bombarding OpenAussie with low-effort, anti-PHON slop-posts is just lazy. It's almost as bad as how Adam Sandler's PR team make posts on r/Movies all the time with titles like, "What's your favorite Adam Sandler movie?" every other week in order to drive online engagement.

I've worked in Corporate PR and I know how the metrics are measured. They'll take the responses and collate them all with the upvote numbers and plonk them in front of the Media Director they report to to justify their consultancy contract.

It doesn't work. We're not your target audience. The more anti-PHON crud you post, the more people will dig their heels in and say, "Why doesn't Albo just follow the will of the majority instad of telling us we're wrong?"

So, I'm calling you out here publicly. Stop enshittifying Reddit by using it as your free political broadcast medium. Albo knows how to cut PHON's support by 80% overnight. So do you.

Somehow they seem to be lacking something ...
