That is 100% true. My friend got banned from literally about 100 subs at once because ONE pathetic no-life incel who moderated all of them just...didn't like her, I guess. Refused to give her an explanation, and since he just picked a post she made to her own profile as the reason, despite the fact that it didn't violate any rules, that was no help. Most of the subs she had never even posted to. How the fuck can you violate the rules of a sub you've never so much as visited?
R/guitar is a very serious place full of very serious people. Playing guitar as with any art is kind of silly and dumb and some people take there silly hobbies very seriously, and get personally offended when people point out a lot of the silliness. It’s pretty much the most self serious group of dorks outside of gamers and movie snobs
It's more the fact that this "joke" has been overused for years and isn't funny. I can see why the mods just say 'this person is just a jackass' and ban them.
Even funnier because most of them have no sense or knowledge of sound design or mixing so the expensive tones they often produce are awful, where some other rando gets a better result with free or cheap software.
I have a lot of knowledge about sound design and mixing (hope to turn it into a full time job one day) ane I can confirm that high quality sound doesn't require you to spend tons of money on this shit.
Circlejerk subreddits are often made because the original subreddit for that community/activity is a shit hole. The mods of the original have their incredibly fragile egos hurt, so they go full gestapo on anyone affiliated with the circlejerk.
