I would love for some of the CyberStuck folks to come over and post some crap as I would love to engage with them in a real discussion for why all the hate. I personally like their forum because I do find it funny on some of their posts. But a lot of their posts/comments are getting fairly crappy. They even argue with each other about it. A lot of them are SJWs and talk about how bad Elon is. Then they make assumptions that we are "incels" (urban dictionary says its "short for 'involuntary celibate' often built like a discord mod, probably uses reddit"). That to me is rather funny because they seem to fit the definition of an "incel". I think your average CT owner is married and has kids, so the fact they use that term for us is rather comical. They make assumptions on us, and many of them are "anti racist" etc. But the fact they make assumptions on us based on what we drive is kind of "racist", the very thing they are against. They make comments showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a group. The hypocrisy is mind blowing.

They had a thread over there recently where they finally came down to saying what annoys them other than the aforementioned info, is that they think we bought it for "look at me" to get attention. It's funny, because I actually choose not to drive it to crowded locations for the very reason that I *don't* want attention. I cannot stand it. Why did I buy it? They got one thing right... I am a tech bro. I love tech. The CT is like driving a computer. I still keep my other ICE trucks because I love driving them too. But the CT is just damned fun to drive and it's a pleasure. Most of those "incels" will never get the opportunity to try it out or experience what it's like. I have had folks who think its ugly get in the truck and go for a ride, then say "Wow... this thing is really cool".

The other thing they like to say is we bought a $100K truck and the truck is a POS and falls apart. Ok. I payed the money. I took the risk. The risk is mine to take. But nobody says a thing when they buy a $800 POS Subaru that is rusted out with 387K miles on it and is likely in the shop all the time. Yes that really is true. You click on their names to get a snap of them and you see them posting in car forums about their POS and how to fix it. Then they come pointing fingers at us for having issues. WE spent that money... WE made that decision, so WTF? The fact that they care how we spend our money is rather comical. They love to say about us that we say "You are just jealous", then they deny it coming up with other reasons for why they hate the CT. From the looks of it, it does look like they are jealous as all fingers surely seem to point towards that. Why do you care what someone spends their money on? They should go look at celebs who piss away their money on the stupidest crap and bitch about that. Ours is only 100K... go watch the celebs who spend that on 1 night at a hotel.

Finally, many of their posts are them hunting for things to post over there to gain some notoriety. They love to come here, do screen shots of our discussions, then post them on reddit with snarky comments. The same folks who complain about us being the "look at me" are the same folks looking for "likes" to get their post higher in the ratings. It seems to me they are more into "look at me". It seems to me those incels have too much time on their hands looking for content to gain notoriety. :ROFLMAO:
You don’t sell their post here because there’s no API for the Bots to leverage.

One more point, Edmunds rates the Cybertruck higher than the new Tacoma across nearly every dimension except technology (because it’s lacking CarPlay, laughable) and very subjectively, the look. Meanwhile, Ford is recalling 91K EcoBoost vehicles over potential engine failure. How many of you felt compelled to go talk shit about this in a Ford forum? You’d have to be a really toxic individual to take the time to go do that. I get that people want to see Elon fail, and he really should shut up, but common… these folks are proving they’re just as bad.

I really don't think they're bots. They're just radicalized Redditors with no self awareness and there are a ton of those nowadays. I'll occasionally visit someone's profile and they look like real people that sub to BMW, Subaru, or other car subs as fans and there's so little action that they resort to /r/Cybertruck . I also think they don't realize that they actually like the CT because it lives rent free in their head and they can't stop thinking about it lol.

Reddit has talked about selling all their user's posts to AI companies ?‍♂ I don't want a crappy company profiting off me. It's your choice at the end of the day, PDS is an advanced tool that takes a second to setup.

Oh man... the crazy shit that a Reddit-trained AI would come up with. From what I've seen, they probably already set that monstrosity loose in the Youtube comments. :ROFLMAO:

I am on a few Reddit subs, don't post much but do enjoy reading them. The Harbor Frieght sub/r is a hoot.

Anyhow, I just joined the CT sub, got approved in about 5 minutes. I haven't done a deep dive, but on a quick pass though I did not see the hate just a bunch of cool photos I haven't seen anywhere else. ?‍♂

The hate is from /r/cyberstuck. /r/cybertruck got lots of trolls from cyberstuck and the mod got sick of deleting posts. So you won’t see much hate in cybertruck. Go look at cyberstuck and you will see what we are referring to.

The concept of requiring AI to pay you to read your post is nonsensical anyhow.

-Crissa
I want Reddit specifically to pay me if they want to use my data. Hate the company, hate the users, hate everything about it.

Agree with all of your points. It’s one thing to hate on the actual vehicle (which is obviously still weird to be part of a group that is against a product)…

but what I have seen is an attack on the character of people who buy it. I feel pretty bad for some people on YouTube who excitedly posted videos of them doing whatever it is they’re doing in their truck, and getting absolutely decimated in the comment section.

The problem is, just like any classic bullying, there isn’t a single thing one could say. Any complaint / call out would be being considered a big baby.

Any defense of the truck (such as it not only not being bad, but it actually being way better), is met with cries of consumerism and vanity.

It’s not going away. Just some thing owners are going to have to deal with until people find something else to be outraged over.

IMHO, the total root of all of this are people who want to "Cancel" Musk. They get mad at us because we don't play that game. They see us buying $100K+ trucks and those fools get mad because they see income coming in to Musk. So they take that crap out on us... trying to bully us into being shamed. I have one thing to say to them...
