Part 2/9:
The Athletics didn't just flip the switch randomly; they explicitly encouraged fans to comment, posting messages such as, "Comment below your favorite home run this year." This was an overt invitation for fans to express their opinions—both positive and negative. The response was predictable: fans immediately flooded the comment sections with sharp criticism, frustration, and disapproval. Unsurprisingly, the post quickly became "ratioed," with replies far exceeding likes, illustrating the deep dissatisfaction among the fanbase.
