1/5 Hey @Morrisons, your customer service at the Westcroft (Milton Keynes) branch is an absolute joke. Over 7 months ago, your on-site Coin Master machine swallowed £60 of my money and malfunctioned. Zero staff around to help. That was just the start of the circus. 🧵👇

2/5 After months of radio silence from customer support, I was told by your team to drive down to the store in person to get it sorted. Waste of time and petrol. The supervisor on shift ("Jimmy") promised a follow-up. Result? Absolute zero.

3/5 I've spent hours sending emails, making calls, and driving to your store on YOUR advice, only to be passed around and ignored. I even had to deal with a scammer posing as your support team while trying to track down MY money.

4/5 Your latest excuse? "Not our responsibility—take it up with Coin Master." You host these machines on your shop floor for customer convenience and collect vendor revenue, but wash your hands the moment your equipment takes money from shoppers.

5/5 £60 lost, months of runaround, useless store visits, and complete deflection. @Morrisons care to step up, or do you always let third-party vendors take your customers' money risk-free on your shop floor?

I’m trying to wrap my head around the general vibe towards AI content on Reddit lately, and wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this.

Last week I put up a couple of posts on aiArt. The mods there are solid, so there weren't any toxic comments or anything. But I noticed something weird—pretty much every single positive comment people left got quietly downvoted. No arguments, no actual replies, just silent downvotes for anyone who dared to say they liked the post.

It made me realize that even in subreddits literally made for AI art, you still get that friction. Mods can clear out hate comments, but they can't stop people from doing drive-by downvotes as they scroll their feed.

I work with AI daily, so messing around with image generation just feels like a natural extension of what I do. I’m definitely not claiming to be an artist here, but I do put actual time into tweaking the prompts, sifting through generations, and only posting stuff I think genuinely turned out well.

It just got me thinking about the whole debate again. Have you guys run into straight-up hostility on other subs, or is it mostly this same passive-aggressive downvote thing? And honestly, how do you navigate sharing stuff you made without just giving up on posting altogether?

Curious to hear how other people are handling it. Please let me know what your experience has been; good, bad or indifferent. Have you noticed the downvoting? Just what are your own thoughts on the subject?
