Agency owner: mentioning AI in coding/3D printing subreddits triggers mass downvotes
ankushthor · reddit · 2026-11-01
A developer running both a custom software agency and a 3D printing business reports that mentioning AI in coding, 3D modeling, or photography subreddits reliably triggers hostile pile-ons and heavy downvoting, across both digital and physical trades.
He argues AI adoption is unavoidable and embracing it is the only rational way to beat competition, and wonders whether the hostility is mere keyboard-warrior behavior or genuine existential fear for livelihoods — possibly the "anger" stage before mass acceptance.
