Reddit is what happens when a corporation thinks that it can monetize 4chan.

Reddit quietly and not so quietly manipulates users ability to vote on content. It has "shadow users" and "shadow bans". In a democracy that is election rigging and breaking civil rights. With shareholders that is fraud.

Reddit is trying to figure out how to fool its users into paying reddit to have the users write for reddit. To have users edit content for reddit and pay reddit for the privilege.

That place is an unethical pile of shite. It is a digital version bondage or indentured servitude.
