Or like YouTube where people will be arbitrarily demonetized for rules they aren’t actually violating while others who blatantly violate rules will be ignored because they are corporate posters and Reddit won’t want the legal nightmare they might start if they enforce rules with them.
It’s an interesting idea and a step in the right direction overall, but this reality has a way of turning every possible utopia into a distopia.
Well, at least YouTube is still a valid way to make a living for a lot of people. Who knows how long this will last, but somehow they managed to keep the whole ecosystem alive and working thus far
