In January, Fox News brought Doreen Ford, the head mod of r/antiwork onto their show for a short interview. If you don't know what r/antiwork is then you likely don't browse Reddit. It was at the time one of the most active communities on Reddit. To end up with a Fox interview tells you that this wasn't some niche internet community that no one knows or cares about.

Though, that doesn't mean Fox had good intentions when offering r/antiwork a chance of exposure to a wider audience. Fox is right wing, and antiwork is likely to be filled with the far left. We unfortunately know that the left and right usually only engage to make the other look stupid. I found this whole situation to be intriguing enough to make a video critically looking at the interview itself, giving a bio for who Doreen Ford is, what the r/antiwork community felt about this whole situation, and then sharing the aftermath of this event.

With my own thoughts on the interview aftermath towards the end of my video. I can now say three months later you rarely will see r/antiwork posts shared around Reddit. Whereas the three months leading up to January, I couldn't go anywhere on that website without seeing them having their posts spread and talked about.
