The subreddit r/antiwork saw explosive growth in late 2021, paralleling the Great Resignation. This community discusses worker rights and exploitation, gaining media attention that further fueled its increase in subscribers. Despite this growth, user engagement drastically dropped following a controversial moderator interview in January 2022. While many new users ceased participation, longstanding posting behaviors remained stable. The discussions within the community did not majorly shift except for the introduction of topical events like holidays, suggesting that core discussions on worker rights retained their significance despite fluctuations in user involvement.
Despite the influx of new subscribers in r/antiwork, a significant drop in activity was observed post-January 2022, primarily due to backlash after a moderator's media appearance.
Even as r/antiwork gained subscribers, the thematic content of discussions remained largely consistent, only influenced by seasonal and current news events.
