I thought I’d create a post where we can discuss our theories! Here’s mine…
I think when she met with the law firm to convince them to send Janette the cease and desist letter she also got advice on how to shut down her rapidly growing snark page. She knows that the two are interconnected and Janette is getting most of her information from Reddit snarkers/former “fans”. This TERRIFIES her as she knows the truth will eventually come out.
I don’t think Knix or SI had anything to do with it, nor do I think Reddit cares about a nobody from Canada. I think she either 1. Reported based on a (likely exaggerated) violation that she knew Reddit would take seriously or 2. Had her cronies overwhelm the reporting system in a short amount of time. I think the latter is more likely, or at least in combination with 1.
I also don’t think the fact that Reddit is rapidly removing similar subs is related. I think they have tagged keywords that lead to subs automatically being removed, or can somehow see when former sub members congregate elsewhere (even completely private subs are being removed). For this reason I think we need to be careful when commenting about TBP on other influencer snark subs.
Thoughts? I probably didn’t share anything new here but ranged to get it out! Regardless of what happens, SNL will not win as the cat is already out of the bag and it’s the only reason she’s doubling down so hard.
The Reddit reason was harassment I believe.
You’re right, found a screenshot from when it was banned saying this.
I really don’t understand how the sun was “harassing” anyone. Talking about someone isn’t harassment. 🙄
Words like harassment and bullying aren’t being used properly anymore. People are using them to silence critics and it’s wrong. SNL has made herself a public figure and, as such, has to expect to be critiqued. Can a movie studio cry harassment and bullying every time a bad review is published. No. Can an actor have articles pulled because they don’t like what the journalist has written. No. Can an artist stop the art critics. No. Can a sports figure stop the broadcasters and sports writers commenting on their play. No. These influencers believe they are above scrutiny. Why? What makes them so special?
Being a critic is a career FFS. Everyone has to answer to someone and Influencers answer to their followers. Being able to block out critical comments has made them believe they don’t have to accept or listen to anything they don’t like.
