The man told jurors he spent hours listening to far-right podcasts before breaking into the Pelosi home and attacking the then-Speaker’s husband with a hammer.

Some people had different ideas about it but the vast majority that I saw were all about corruption in games journalism. Sure a lot of trolls got their start there too but it doesn’t mean that was the point.
The vast majority of the movement was misogynistic, but even the parts that were legitimately focused on corruption were focused on the AAA devs “paying” for preferential reviews of their garbage. That A. hasn’t stopped and B. had nothing to do with indie developers.
This seems rampant in mobile app reviews, too. Using the Health Equity app made me pissed enough to go look at the app reviews in the Google Play store. Shocking - if you look at all the people that give it 5 star, glowing (canned) reviews? Who did they work for? Just take a look for their names on LinkedIn and it’ll be real obvious what was happening.
Not a 1:1 comparison, but your thread immediately reminded me of it.
