Gross.It entirely depends on the particular subreddit. The big ones are a so obnoxiously far-left leaning that it's one big anti-anything that deviates from that circle-jerk.

Trash is the best kind of tv/film to watch. Bring on the Full Moon Features and Troma!The trick on the internet is to never get into a discussion where emotion comes in play. The moment I feel it in myself, I am gone. Life is so freakin' short, why would I spend an hour trying to convince somebody of anything if I can watch "The Ultimatum" with my wife (yes I get the irony about watching trash while saying life is short).
Your brain stops liking new music after your mid 20's. It's just what happens. You feel the way you do because of science.
Mine is TGF and SSO. I feel like any time I've searched something there's more useful responses on forums than reddit ever has.the combination of TGF + Reddit works well for me.

Emotional outbursts are specifically why certain topics are largely forbidden on most forums. Some people are completely incapable of putting on their big boy pants and having a rational discussion with others. Kinda like trying to reason with a three year old.
It's a really small group of the same dudes spanning the few remaining guitar forums.Most of them must also be active here

Same people. Same vibe. Same chit-chat patterns. Different avatars.

And what do you do if little bro has a fight with older bro. You tell them both to STFU so you can play guitar like a good dad.
Maybe that is what TGP does right. If you don't act like you belong here, gtfo. And I am pretty happy with that. But maybe it;s just a couple of rotten apples there that ruin the overal vibe. Most of them must also be active here and this forum is really friendly and funny and helpful.
That's where it becomes obvious that you have paid posters shilling for manufacturers/defending any negative remarks against certain products.It’s more than a couple people at this point, it’s a total hive mind clusterfuck. You’re mostly safe as long as you stick to the actual gear related subforums, but even there you have to be wary of the people who find it virtuous to be offended by everything-and who attack those they find offensive. If you have an opinion on ANYTHING that isn’t in lockstep with the herd, you either keep it to yourself or expect to get attacked.

It goes beyond "fanboi" with some of these accounts.
Couldn’t this also be the brands themselves pushing this via the known channels?
What channels are there, YouTube, a couple of gear forums and Reddit.
I don’t think many guitar / amp / pedal brands have really more channels than that.
Whatever it is, I find a lot of it to be kinda sketchy. Somebody buys aTMP, then seeks out a gear forum to gush about it? Seems to me that if a person is going to get involved in a gear forum, they would most likely also use the same forums to do a bit of pre sale research. And if you’re actively researching floor modelers in the $1500 price range, you’re going to know which units are fairly mature and which are experiencing teething pains.
Not just the over-the-top praise, but also the gaslighting and condescending attitude toward people who are bringing up issues with the unit. See also: Neural Quad Cortex launch.Yeah I agree.
Normal would be to ask about a gear and maybe later give an update that you bought it
I would not go on a forum to tell I love something I just bought
That is for Reddit hahaha

Yeah very inpatient. I know I am really a beginner in helix land and may even be the worst guitar player on this forum, but there is so much patience here and just genuinely helpful people. On a couple of good ones there it’s really bad.
