“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

This is absolutely being hidden here. A minor subreddit that is unlikely to attract attention as the only place where a significant new feature is being described? And all posted by an admin who has only posted to this sub once or twice before.

This clearly belongs in /r/announcements. Everything about how this has gone shows that they know it's going to be unpopular and are trying to deflect criticism.

There's no point acting all surprised about it, the plans and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning office in Alpha Centauri for fifty earth years! If you can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that's your own lookout.

This deserves more upvotes, but currently it is at 42. I'm leaving that alone

Reminds me of the show Nathan for You. He sells a TV for $1 so he can get best buy to price match it. But his "store " has fine print that makes it virtually impossible and iirc involves a crocodile somehow.
