> SO, over the past decade, has been destroyed by power-hungry admins. These admins are (1) not technically competent, (2) not politically astute, and (3) do not have the best of the community in mind. Simply put, they're power hungry online weirdos that just want to be "in charge" of a community. Sadly, your comment perfectly describes what happened to Wikipedia about five to ten years ago, and also exactly what is happening more and more every day on Reddit. Recently a post of mine on Reddit hit the front page and got a ton of awards (i.e. revenue for Reddit). Quickly the majority of my comments were deleted and I was given a temporary ban from the subreddit. The rules say "Only one link to social media per submission", and I was linking to websites that were extremely helpful and relevant to the questions I was being asked. My takeaway is that Reddit doesn't want me to submit content that garners a massive amount of attention (119k upvotes), over 4700 comments and 357 awards.
