Daily reminder that you can't trust commercial social media.

The finance subreddits are bizarro world. They don't align with reality. I know I'm not the only one because once in a while I see posts that break through the wall, basically asking if what all of they're seeing on those subs is real.

I guess it makes sense when taking into account it's manipulated discourse aimed at the upper class.

they've been doing this for a while. just look at one of the many canadian financial subs, it's friggin crazy town. Hell it goes beyond just the financial subs, many Canadian subreddits are also insanely manipulated by outside interests. /r/Toronto is notorious for it. ANYTHING that could potentially make the city look bad is quickly removed. But post as many photos of rainbows, the cn tower, snow and rain as you like. It's an absolute joke that you can't even have a discussion about the city because it will be removed if there's even the slightest hint of making Toronto look bad.
