20 Ridiculous Gatekeepers Who Don’t Want People to Like Stuff
I would like to think that I’m not a gatekeeper. If a niche band I like blows up, I’m happy that they have been given another reason to keep on making music, and if a bar or cafe I frequent suddenly gets a lot more business, it’s heartwarming to see their hard work paying off …

20+ of the Funniest Reddit Posts of the Week (May 3, 2024)
