The /r/hardware mods locked the thread for our 3.5-hour-long documentary on the collapse of the industry, which is our most important video of the year so far. They are stifling discussion on a topic critical to their own community and one we feel strongly about. I am disappointed because I wanted to read their community's discussion on something so critical, whether they were in favor of our report or against our report, and now they've silenced it altogether. I don't know if this is a shoves-fingers-in-ears moment of denial or what, but it is suspiciously inconsistent behavior. Because it's locked, I can't post there -- so I'll post here and hope it finds its way back to the subreddit.

They claim it's because people were commenting on the video length that we can't have an open discussion about how the industry is getting gutted inside-out. The inconsistency of the mods' actions is an unfortunate symptom of a larger disease of denial. There are threads every day that are critical of reviewers -- in particular, our own content, which we called out in the very video they locked the thread for -- so why lock this one? And I want to be clear: As the one on the receiving end of that criticism, I fully embrace and support unlocked, open discussion. As long as discussion is happening. It certainly doesn't hurt us to get more perspectives.

But I can't shake the question: Why is this the one that trips the threshold, but not every other thread for our investigations where their community voices its discontent about our content? I guess an existential threat to the /r/hardware subreddit should be locked under guise of 'off-topic' discussion rather than allow open discussion. As the one being criticized for the length of the video on that very thread, I certainly don't mind it. That's fair commentary and their community should be allowed to post their criticisms of us. I support it, even if I sometimes don't agree with it, because we sometimes learn things we can improve from those posts. Unfortunately, shutting down the thread under this false pretense also shuts down ALL discussion of the topic, ruining a good thing for everyone while claiming it's because people were only commenting about video length. That, I think, was the objective. Stop all discussion and use a scapegoat to do it, because if this were a legitimate reason, they'd lock threads constantly.

To the /r/hardware mods, I guess my question would be: Why lock this one but not every single other thread with our videos that your community is critical of? It's the same behavior. The decision to lock our most important video of the year so far, and one which is about the collapse of the very industry you occupy while plugging your ears and screaming "lalala," is an interesting deviation from the typical policy of allowing users post whatever they want.

And some behind-the-scenes for everyone, but this subreddit is less than 0.5% of our traffic. It doesn't even register on the report. For me, it's not about the views but instead a callout on the mods' inconsistent behavior and silencing of its own community. This hurts our ability to even try to serve their community, because now I can't read the discussion to see if it might have good suggestions to make adjustments for future videos.

Hopefully this makes it back to them. I guess I'll go read the discussion on PCMR and some other websites. For our big pieces like this, it helps to read comments outside of our own YT community so that we can take in other requests/ideas/content suggestions from people who may not already be part of our community. It's one of the most fun parts of the job to try and sort the good critiques or suggestions and implement improvements. Go figure they silence discussion of our best video this year and kill its traction in their community.
