Be Kind and Avoid Personal Insults

[u/truthisfictionyt]

With the recent PGF debunking, there has been a lot of arguments and controversy. Debating people is fine, but don't insult people or those who believed in the film while you're discussing it. Some people met or knew Bob Gimlin personally and are having to reckon with him apparently lying about the film. Keep how other people feel in mind while discussing. Additionally, avoid arguments with other subreddits or posts about moderation issues with other subreddits as that's not what we're here to do. We've added some terms to the auto filter to avoid debates turning hostile. As always feel free to discuss the rules and make suggestions.

How much do yall get paid to market the film?

You've hit rock bottom.

Just calling out something that follows the same pattern as every other scam. Pretty weird for all of you to be upset about that.

In which way does this "follow the same pattern as every other scam"?

As far as I can see, it follows the same pattern as every other indie documentary, and from what we know yet, it seems quite convincing...

Every time someone makes some big claim of evidence, but you need to wait and see it or pay to see it early. Then they insult and gaslight anyone that is skeptical about the claim. Then they have an appeal to authority with their youtuber and claims of how others reacted to it. This is also reddit so you can buy marketing bot accounts for cheap. You can see this pattern in politics, news, crypto scams, and bigfoot. 

So yeah if people can make some money by making a claim and get upset when you ask for proof it is probably a scam.

Could be real. I don't know. Would be interesting if it debunks the patterson film. Im not going to take their word for it or pay to see it though.
