    Huh, maybe if reddit wasn’t overly restrictive to free speech they’d get more actively engaged users. Oh well, I guess they’ll have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I know this article blames reliance on google and stagnant ads for this, but I can’t help but think restricting speech and shutting down discussions also plays a role. Front page of the internet my ass.

      Free speech being critical of right wingers and reporting them. Before it was the reverse, they found it right wing content makes drives more traffic

      Not just restrictive of free speech. Openly abusive to users. Shadowbanning with zero indication of what is going on, or why.
