I was on the fence between legit gripe and false flag smear until I started seeing dozens of new accounts here to sell me even MORE conservative coffee.

Is this just my conspiracy theorist brain in overdrive?

Why are you suspicious of capitalism working like it is supposed to work? BRCC smeared themselves. Other coffee companies are simply advertising the exact same way BRCC did to gain conservative customers.

They're not paying for advertisement on TD.Win, there's people starting up brand new accounts to spread low-effort memes advertising them. Maybe the owners themselves.

I'm not anti-capitalism. I'm anti-manipulative stealth advertising on a platform that explicitly disallows self-promotion. Especially if they're doing it off the back of manufactured controversy that they're underhandedly promoting.

If they want a banner with their logo on this site, they ought to pay the guys who own TD.Win for it. Otherwise, I'm about to start clicking "deport" on this stuff.
