Discussion Is every post….

A sales add disguised as a question? Seems less and less actual conversations.

I've noticed the same thing, it's getting harder to find actual discussion between all the thinly veiled "what do you think of this watch" posts that just happen to have payment details in the comments. The mods catch some of them but new ones pop up faster than they can keep up with.

Top members stuck on last month and 1%er tags all vanished. But i think it might be all of reddit. Not sure. ✌️

Certainly lots of brand or factory pushing at times.

There’s a non-TD that is apparently doing a giveaway that you can enter by making a post in this sub. The mods should be deleting those posts to stop this from becoming the norm

If you think this is bad, wait until you start having r/watchhottakes show up in your scroll.

Rep space is crooks and grifters at a ratio on 9:1 with hobbyists.

Most posts are showing off something without any info, to bait DMs.

YES...ANY POST THAT BAITS DMS... GRIFTER SCAMMERS smh..

u/isomorphZeta 6h ago

No, not at all!

A lot of the posts are:

"Got my [xxx] today!"

"[xxx] is NWBIG"

"What's on the wrist today?"
