A Reddit rant about model-release hype and shilling
The poster jokes about "sub shill evidence" and asks people to remember the Boogu episode, arguing that hype can make a mediocre image or model feel inescapably dominant in a subreddit.
The takeaway is less about a specific model and more about training yourself to remember how launch hype and shilling dynamics can distort perception.
