It’s not related to the engineering side of things, but the Roomba subreddit would ban people for mentioning anything negative about the product, such a great way to keep your product “successful”.

The entirety of Reddit is like that.
I see you haven’t been to the Apple subreddits lately. Liquid Glass was not well received
I think by “like that” the person probably meant Reddit is filled with petite tyrants who cannot tolerate other people’s viewpoints. It wouldn’t surprise me if they call people who like Liquid Glass fascists.

i have never seen a subreddit about something that didn’t turn into mostly hating that thing.
It’s more like Roomba silenced their customers, disregarded and disrespected their opinions, and now financially bankrupt after said customers didn’t buy their products.

It either turns into hating that thing or a place where mildly criticizing that thing gets you banned. Or a place where telling someone they're full of it as tactfully as you can still gets you banned or your post deleted for "incivility."
Reddit is a weird place that is not real life.
Pretty much anywhere you go, people have a negativity bias both in what they say and in what they recall seeing. A great exception is Amazon reviews in which one must flip filters.
Daily reminder companies have social media teams.
The entire internet is astroturfed and manipulated and full of bots and influence campaigns. Here included. Really not what I hoped it would turn into.
