Agree on all accounts. I got perma-banned for making fun of the conceptual average Reddit user. Now I’m here. That website is a hollow shell of what it once was.

As predicted, their stock going public INSTANTLY made the website 10x shittier. Bots, propaganda, karma-farming, tyrant power-tripping mods/admins, misinfo, and algorithmic front page is just too much.

At a certain point, you’d essentially be feeding a super-staph infection the now useless antibiotics as a supplement for it to grow lmao.

It was both a retail store and restaurant. Both sections were “Southern Hospitality” themed minus any confederate or hateful shit. Think biscuits and gravy, maybe some bluegrass, farmin’.

I went a decent amount with my fam as a child and I always found it cozy and interesting. Never been as an adult.

Conservative backlash? Are we really putting all the apparent public distaste for the rebrand on the conservatives? I personally haven’t seen any conservatives or conservative-coded people complain at all; in fact, I thought the “outcry” (more like grumbling imo) was bipartisan and something that progressives and conservatives both disliked.

But again, I feel as though in a reaching effort to make conservatives look even worse than they already do, many democrats and associated talking heads are forcing this story that conservatives are so pissed about it.

I’m left as hell and voted for Harris so I hope that gives some perspective when I say that I also think the logo and overall brand look like tasteless, soulless corporate slop. It’s what all corps have done and will always do, simplify and dilute any individuality to appeal to the broadest possible market possible, and we shouldn’t applaud that.

IDGAF about Cracker Barrel and never eat there, and were it not for media pundits accusing conservatives of being pissed, I don’t think I ever would’ve known. That said, if it’s gonna be pushed in my face for brand awareness and marketing, then yea, it looks like shit and I want to eat there even less than before.

Congrats everyone, you’re falling for engagement bait and doing the advertising for Cracker Barrel for free.

As a Gen-Z young man in the US with both a B.S. and graduate/professional degree who is unemployed — I can corroborate. I usually ponder suicide and the point of it all at least once a week while applying to jobs and being a leach off my parents for financial support. Love em for that though. If I didn’t have their emotional and financial support, I’d probably just go ahead and take that long nap lol.
