Are the big social media companies working together to ban content? What are the odds that reddit and youtube ban similar content on the same day?
What a sad day. Reddit used to be something so special.
If only tech giants stood together and fought the corporate interests and NGOs pushing censorship on them.
I've pretty much stopped using reddit because it's full of political nonsense now anyways. If they are going to be banning subs every 6 months, what's the point of reddit anymore?
- Miner49er 9y agoThis is probably all about advertising. Advertisers likely told these platforms to get rid of this stuff or they'll stop using their sites to advertise. It's possibly the same advertiser(s) on both sites asking for it. That could explain why it's happening on the same day.
- Zak 9y agoreddit already had a policy to show ads only on whitelisted subreddits, so it would have taken something stronger than just "I don't want my ad shown next to X".
- themacguffinman 9y agoThe reputation of reddit as a whole still matters to advertisers. An advertiser might not want to advertise on The Daily Stormer, for example, even if its ads are only shown on boards focused on cute animal photos.
