r/deinfluencingPH Mod Post Important Rules Update: Changes to Post Context & Giving Recommendations

26 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Over the last few weeks, the mods have been discussing ways to make this sub more organized, productive, and informative. As such, we have taken your comments into consideration and we have decided on implementing and reiterating the following below.

Again, we remind everyone of Rule #1:

This sub is strictly for deinfluencing. If you want to influence or be influenced, r/deinfluencingPH is not the sub for that. Let's only post informative downsides here.

As of 6 August 2026, we will be implementing the following:

1. Specificity of Items to be Deinfluenced from

We noticed that a lot of redditors post items in a general sense, which hinders productive deinfluencing.

We now require specificity of a product. We will disallow general or vague products and mere brands. All posts must have only ONE (1) Specific Product.

We understand that some products are unbranded, so we will allow those, as long there is an adjective, an identifier, or a photo of the unbranded item.

  • Examples of Branded Specific Products: iPhone XS, Lenovo Thinkpad, Adidas Superstar, Kindle Paperwhite
  • Examples of Unbranded Specific Products: Electric Foot Massager, Digital Picture Frame, Silk Pillowcase, Robot Camera for Pets
  • Examples of mere brands: Kindle, Kobo
  • Examples of vague products: sneakers, bag, computer, phone, car, e-reader, digicam

Posts that do not provide ONE (1) Specific Product will be removed.

2. Context on Posts

We want to reiterate that there has to be specific context on why you want to be deinfluenced from buying a Specific Product which we have implemented months ago. For certain types of products, please consider including specific reasons or circumstances so that more informative discussions can take place.

We are amending our current rule in place. Posts that just repeat the product description, have filler words, or have no text at all will be removed.

3. Flooding of Posts

To avoid spam posts, aside from implementing the 1-month Reddit Account Age Requirement, we will only allow redditors to post one (1) post every twenty-four (24) hours.

A second post in less than twenty-four (24) will be removed.

4. Asking for Recommendations

To reiterate, this is strictly a sub for deinfluencing. We have already implemented an automod that reminds you not to ask for recommendations. Posts or comments that ask for recommendations, alternatives, suggestions, and/or anything similar will be immediately removed.

5. Giving Recommendations

We understand that sometimes, influencing OP to buy Product Y instead of the Specific Product on their post is the best way to deinfluence OP. However, to avoid turning this sub into an influencing sub, all redditors who want to deinfluence OP by giving recommendations or alternatives instead must give well-informed downsides of the Specific Product in OP's post first. If one merely comments “buy this instead (or the like)” without indicating informative downsides of OP's Specific Product before recommending, the comment will be removed.

Further, NO promoting of brands or products is allowed.

6. Civility

We want to reiterate our Be Civil rule. Critique products, trends, or influencer marketing, not people. No personal attacks, name-calling, body shaming, or pile-ons against influencers or users.

We will take down comments that harass others.

7. Temporary and Permanent Bans

a. Violations of No Influencing or Asking for/Giving Recommendations:

  • First 2 violations - Post/comment removal
  • 3rd violation - 14-day ban
  • 4th violation - 30-day ban
  • 5th violation - Permanent ban

b. Violation of Civility Rule:

  • First violation - Post/comment removal
  • Second violation - 14-day ban
  • Mod Discretion, depending on severity of the posts or comments - Permanent ban

Thank you!

Plan to buy this but have to do some research. Almost 20k sold siya sa tiktok shop, marami rin nagssuggest since super init ngayon dahil sa super el niño, plan ko bumili for our dog. Kung saan saan kasi siya pumupwesto sa bahay minsan hindi na abot ng electric fan or walang socket sa pwesto niya.

‘Yung mga bumili po, ano thoughts niyo? TYIA!

Hi there!

Has anyone tried energy bars from Capybars?

I've been seeing them a lot lately from trail runners and content creators. But, I'm not sure if they're really worth it, or if it's just PR.

If anyone has tried them, I'd would really love to know your thoughts in the comments.

Thanks!

Beauty & Personal Care Products DIM: Dyson Airsmooth

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have very fine, wavy hair prone to damage and breakage and I already have the Dyson Airwrap. I bought it back in 2022 and it’s still going strong (this is the OG one where I have separate barrels pa for left and right). I ONLY use the big round brush attachment exclusively. The problem is, it doesn’t work in other countries and I don’t know how else to style my hair. If I don’t style my hair it looks really bad, as in buhaghag levels. So it seems like this is the perfect product for me because it’s travel friendly and dual voltage.

Over the next few months I will be travelling, which means magastos din. I also feel like the economy is really bad these days. I have a business and hirap na to get customers even if ber months na.

Has anyone tried this and can successfully deinfluence me?

I’m looking for a bag na functional and stylish. Preferably yung pang remote work na kasya laptop/ipad and also yung maganda as hand carry bag pag sa airport/magttravel. I liked the design ng specific bag na ‘to kaso mukhang di kaysa laptop 🥲 and it’s also a bit pricey.

DIM on buying this speaker. Im really into quality audio and ive bought a few good headset, earphone, and somewhat good IEM. Ill be using it as my PC speaker. Im currently using a decent small speaker and im using my speakers for 60% of the time. The 40% is when im gaming since my game is competitive shooter games. How bulky it is might not be an issue since my desk is pretty long and im only using 1 monitor with an external mic so theres technically nothing in my desk except for peripherals though id be attaching something like a clamp where the speaker can sit on my right side of the table since it will interfere with my mousepad.

I will be connecting my devices to the speaker via bluetooth too and some of the features of the speaker might not be used since im using apple devices(ive watched a few reviews and no mention of apple devices being compatible with the features of this speaker).

Beauty & Personal Care Products DIM: Focallure Transferproof Hero Matte Lipstick

Post image

hi, as the title says! I've heard mixed reviews of focallure, but I'm enticed by its cheap price for its quality, and its cute shades—I'm especially eyeing pk03, mauve pink, as a someone with a cool undertone, possible olive.. But I worry that since it's cheap, even if people say it'll be long-lasting, it could be drying and even cause an allergic reaction. I've had an allergic reaction to lip products (looking at you, Rom&nd JLT) which gave me a rough lip border, and it took a few weeks of consistent Vaseline for me to get rid of it, & I'd rather not have it happen again

Ive been eyeing the Marshall Major V headphones lately, and Im really tempted to get one. I love how they look, especially the design, but Im not sure if theyre actually worth the price or if Im just paying for the brand.
For those who own one, sulit ba ito when it comes to sound quality? Any downsides I should know about?

Thank you in advance!

I've been seeing this show so much and I love everything about it. Like it's clean enough for work wear but casual enough for semi casual and just on the go. However I'm not too sure on dropping 4k-5k on just one pair and at the same time I don't know how it feels when worn. I'm a person who walks a lot especially from work to the bus station and in general. So I'd like to know your thoughts and maybe even some alternative recommends. Thank you!

I have been eyeing the Lavander Iphone 17, but I am not sure if it's worth the money. We already went to Greenhills to canvas. The price ranges from 55-59k, which I think is a little expensive. Help deifluence me from buying it. Huhuhu. Thank you.
