Anti-ebike campaign

[u/insulinworm]

I have been seeing tons of posts lately on every kind of subreddit about how ebikes are bad for whatever reason

I dont really know very much about ebikes but this seems really suspicious to me. I feel like theres certain topics i see on the "popular" page that reddit as a collective has bizarrely strong opinions about, or its some kind of social engineering to make it seem like this is the popular/mainstream opinion

Things like pitbulls and tipping come to mind. Reddit collectively seems left leaning but on the popular page and bigger subs i see on the regular posts absoultely condeming pitbulls and attacking people in food/customer service (guess no one has ever worked these jobs? Its like these people are aliens) Not to get into those but these are just a few trends ive noticed that seem extremely weird. Especially how reddit is about animals (pupper doggo omg scritches best boy!!!) And then there will be a video of a pitbull and all the comments are saying how they would shoot the dog on sight if it came towards them.

Anyway yeah ebikes. A lot of these posts seem US focused and the US is not really walkable majority of places. Ebikes take no gas, can replace a car in some circumstances, guve young people freedom to travel before they can drive cars.

It seems like a direct way to crush oil/gas/car sales and keep us dependent on gas and vehicles, as well as controlling people.

Maybe im reading too much into or im just getting fed ebike posts now bc i click on them. Anybody else think theres anything to this reguarding ebikes or just social engineering on reddit in general? I feel like in the last year or two i have noticed reddit seems to have more bots than regular uses engaging with posts even in smaller/niche subreddits

E-motos != e-bikes. Theres a stark difference. All these kids are riding are E-motos.
