    For what it’s worth, I’m 100% just sharing memes like I do everyday, and this paranoid dude you’re replying to should be ignored. Before this, he has accused me of working for the Oreo company, McDonald’s, and a couple of others that I can’t remember. It’s nuts.

      You don’t strike me as being an influencer, but seeing brand jokes in a mostly brand-free space is a bit striking. Given your post rate, it would surprising for some not to have a brand. I wasn’t specifically pointing this at you.

        Thanks, and yeah that’s exactly it. I post a ton, and occasionally someone makes a meme that involves a product or something, but this one didn’t strike me as an ad. I figured you could sub in any energy drink, because the joke is that you still feel terrible and they’re not worth it. Energy drinks are trash.

        I also post about Star Trek a lot, which is an IP I love, and I’m not on their payroll either. Lol

            Lol, I don’t remember any reddit power users, so take your pick!

            I was very much a lurker on reddit and only started posting so much here to try to support Lemmy’s growth. I’d love to see it be a real competitor to corporate-owned social media.
