During late 2018 and early 2019 there was a huge undercover reddit marketing campaign by bidet manufactures to sell more bidets. This ended when a comment once joked about how there had to be some sort of bidet conspiracy theory, becuase they were seeing so many posts praising them.

Think back: I guarantee that you’ve noticed how many comments like “I love my bidet” and “it changed my life!” and “I could never go back!” you’ve seen here on reddit a while back. You couldn’t throw a rock in a thread without calling in the bidet-praise squad. But! Since that one joke about it being a conspiracy, they all just vanished overnight.

My guess? Big Bidet flew too close to the sun and got spooked, and without that sweet sweet cash flow, redditors didn’t have any more incentive to talk about bidets, which is why you don’t see any more comments about it.
