I think it’s interesting. In my perspective, reddit sold out many years ago when they started banning subs and more heavily regulating the subreddits in order to appease advertisers. For example on both /r/ketamine and /r/kratom you couldn’t post vendors anymore without getting banned. That was maybe 10 years ago? I feel like it was less maybe 6 or 7 I’m not sure. Also, they started banning radical political subs.

To you, they sold out in the last year or so. If you’ll indulge me, how long have you been on reddit? I was around since 2008. Am I getting old? 🤔
