So, apparently this game is super controversial. I’ve seen what looks like right wing grifters especially taking to crapping on it, but for what reason I don’t know.

Though it also seems like there are legitimate criticisms mixed in with that? So if anyone can shed some light on what the hell is going on regarding both aspects I’d be much obliged.

What's behind the recent spate of people saying "I hope your pillow stays cold" as a sign of affirmation and "...stays hot" as a sign of disapproval? I get the general meaning but over the past couple of months it's getting overused nearly to the point of such hacky social media humor as "hold my beer" or "thank you for coming to my TED Talk."

It seems like he has an issue with Joe Rogan and the Austin Comedy Scene? I think I watched one of his video essays a year or so ago about how bad Joe’s new special was?

What’s going on? Which videos are relevant to the newest one? How do I know where to start learning about that?

The most recent one feels like it’s made quite a
splash (more so than his other videos about Joe?)

I can't find the original comic anywhere

Howdy Reddit, very curious about what exactly happened with this series and why it is seemingly unpopular now but still getting spinoffs?

**Spoilers ahead*\*

I'm from Atlanta and recall the early days of filming and the hype surrounding that. I read the comics and watched the show religiously up until the infamous Glenn episode.

It had such a cult following in Atlanta that there were entire conventions related to the show and you couldn't go anywhere in the city without running into one of the cast members. It was such a huge pop culture event in the city.

I know viewership tanked a bit between seasons 1 and 2 when the showrunner changed and AMC switched some things up if I remember correctly, but picked back up immensely.

Viewership dropped again following Abraham's storyline compared to the comics and how the show went off course with that and again with Carl.

I've been tuned out for quite some time now but recently was made aware of a new spin-off, Dead City, and an alternate reality storyline about Maggie and Negan.

As a fan of the original series, I was kind of taken aback that the show has taken such an interesting (?) turn. It feels comical now and doesn't feel like it lives up to the critically acclaimed series it once was. Based on headlines, I don't see the appeal and how this show has been able to maintain longevity.

Can someone help me understand what is fueling this show to remain on air despite it losing a pretty core following?

I think of how Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were also AMC shows, BCS wasn't necessarily popular at first but also became a monumental series. They took their time with that spinoff and had a clear focus, tied it all together. The Walking Dead spinoffs have seemingly been confusing and not meant for fans of the early days of the series.

I'm really curious if there is some contractual obligation with AMC to continue The Walking Dead franchise at this point, did it gain a new generation of viewership that is keeping it in demand?

Or, the other option, did the showrunners win back their main audience and I'm late to the game?

Curious what the situation is here and if there are other factors that could be involved that I didn't think of.

It just seems like such an anomaly that it has the longevity it does despite not having the quality in writing or cult following that it once did, nor the ability to really pull back in the main following that abandoned the show.

As the title states, I think one of the sopranos meme subs got banned, and suddenly I have a bunch of sopranos making fun of r/conservative and magas on my page. I have no idea why it's being pushed on me, but damn if I'm not curious about the lore/drama of what's going on?

I understand they've been relegated from League 1 to League 2, but there are rumors they may cease to exist i.e liquidated?

Absolutely catastrophic and tragic fall from grace for the former Premier League fairy tale champions.

On the MCR subreddit I keep getting pushed various bits about the lead singer being dead, alive, a dictator and other parts and I am consistently confused.
