A Fox News segment in which Jesse Watters interviews the moderator of the r/antiwork subreddit. The interview went badly for the moderator and led to the subreddit going private.

Used as a reference for the r/antiwork interview blowup, mostly cited critically.

While I hate Fox News, I personally enjoyed watching Jesse Waters tear this r/antiwork mod to shreds on live tv ▶ this video

The famous r/antiwork interview is all a fantastic example of where this attitude gets you. ▶ this video Honestly, being Doreen seems like a nightmare and we should aspire to be better.

If you watch the interview I think it’s pretty self evident how it embarrassed the subreddit into locking down. ▶ this video

- For those outside of the loop, a couple time-ordered points not mentioned here: Fox contacted to the mods and asked specifically to talk with this person, and the mods accepted this instead of other due to having some experience in other media. All of this without asking the users if they agree with that. The Fox interview: ▶ this video After the Fox interview happened, practically the whole subreddit were upset and disappointed. People asked why this happened in this way, why they didn't prepare a lot more this kind of event, and practically they got an "it is what it is", with a bit of authoritarian smell because the mods took this personally. People really get even more mad about this, created other subreddits, and created threads in r/antiwork saying things like "mods are mods, not leaders or content creators, and they shouldn't influence the whole sub" and like like "we need new mods". Mods took that personally, banned a lot of people, removed a lot of comments, more people were mad about this, and even attacked personally the person who spoke in Fox, until they had to close the sub. - Sources: link link - What I think we should learn about this: Fox wanted to interview a specific mod because they knew that using a person who probably would give a bad public image they can show a bad image of the sub. And not only Fox, but every media who have a opposite idea or ideology to yours. Mods weren't clever enough to ask the people if they wanted or not to be in Fox, who shoul

Just adding onto this argument. Reddit moderators just don't know how to take criticism. The lately famous /r/antiwork just had a moment. I tried to find the post where they were banning every dissenting opinion, but the thread got locked. Now the entire subreddit is locked. For reference here's a link to another subreddit locking a thread because the /r/antiwork mod got offended: link This was all because the mod couldn't handle the criticisms he took for being interviewed here: ▶ this video
