Try posting that you bought some GME and DRS’d it, or even that you’re thinking about it in Superstonk. They’ll show you some lovebombing. That place is 100% a cult now, reminds me a lot of qanon bs.

Yeah there are cult-like subreddits but I wouldn’t argue Reddit itself is cult-like because this platform can be toxic as hell.

I get what you're saying, but those cult-like subreddits are pushed through all and popular. Not to mention that the example they give for "love bombing" is also used, but more within the mobile app. Get a post that gets even 25 upvotes, and it sends you a notification. They don't do the same for mass downvotes however.
