= r/antiwork = r/antiwork is a Reddit forum dedicated to the abolition of wage labour. It is part of the network of leftist subreddits, and has seen unprecedented use recently (as of Oct 2021.)

Overview
r/antiwork was created in 2013, in a year when industrial action was minimal, and not active in internet trends. However, it slowly gained a follower-base over the years, and has become one of the largest leftist subreddits.

Usage
It has often been used to discuss anti-work topics, announce news like strike dates, and share memes and humor around leftism. Often, users share personal stories about their struggles at work, such as screenshots of texts with their boss, short stories, reasons for quitting, etc.

2021 spike in popularity
In October 2021, r/antiwork appeared on the "Most Growing" tab on the Reddit home page, and currently has over 700k members. This is in part thanks to Striketober 2021, and the rise in industrial and office action seen in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leftist content on the internet is at an all-time high, a stark contrast to 2016, when anti-SJW content ruled many internet forums.
