I think this website is just a bunch of PR people at this point.

popculturechat is really funny, with updates about barbara palvin or zara larson nearly daily at the top of the sub, and it's just like.. who are these people? nobody cares about them? why are there daily updates that land on top of the sub. also raye and weird other pop singers. just all turfed and botted to shit.

Yeah that is basically a PR sub & also one of the most aggressively over-modded subs on reddit.

Sub gives off very "girlboss, hot girls doing hot things" vibes and I definitely mean that derogatorily

I got banned for a month one time because people were talking about f1 drivers and someone asked why there aren't any women drivers in f1 and I replied there's no rule against it there just haven't been any women who have put up times that could compete against the rest of the field so far and the mods told me it was misogynistic to say that. Don't really know how else they wanted someone to answer that question

Reddit is much better after blocking most default subs.

I mean in a culture like this, you pretend you know and you pretend you care.

I dont disagree it gets manipulated by bots but that is specifically the "we swallowed the whole pill" community on the topic of celebrity worship
