It was by the largest (by a fair margin) socialist-aligned subreddit, but in practice it was like 60% shitposts. Was originally associated with the eponymous podcast, but the hosts have repeatedly said they disliked it.

Yeah wholesome mom and pop businesses getting eaten by larger, more specialized and efficient corpos is not a flaw, it’s an inherent feature of capitalism.
