If you think of reddit as a service to the public and not your personal troll site, doing that kind of thing is terrible. It's like the CEO of a utility company shutting down electricity to people they have a private disagreement with. It hurts society if you let that pass (or encourage it), as you now need a competitor to enter the market or you'll have to submit to whatever private wishes the CEO has.
- vertex-four 7y agoReddit is not a utility company - people do not organise their lives through Reddit like they do Facebook etc. It's, at best, a sometimes vaguely informational entertainment site.
- luckylion 7y agoThe same applies to information websites, imho. Of course, in the end Reddit doesn't want to be a utility, it wants to be a cash grab. And it's fine to do whatever if your only goal is to get as much money as possible with no concern for anything else.
