The sub was divided well before the interview but it had good conversation early on iirc, it was about Graeber’s idea of bullshit jobs, how labor never receives the perks of productivity increases, and how this is destroying our planet. I don’t know if these ideas were not conveyed well to the newcomers, or whether the newcomers had no interest in understanding and discussing them.
As for WorkReform, I rank it up there with other classic reactionary subs like VoteDEM and CapitolConsequences. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a concerted push to funnel people to it, but “they” is more likely to be the terminally online bootlickers than TPTB imo.
I’m thankful to antiwork for turning me on to David Graeber. He has a huge body of really amazing work and I’ve enjoyed all of it I’ve read so far. He was taken from us far too early.
