    Remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism’s status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.

    If Reddit falls, it will be on purpose. Same as the 180 of Twitter as a somewhat legitimate forum - Twitter being a key organizing tool during the Arab Spring (with the Saudis being the largest investor in Twitter behind elon of course).

    Billionaires do each other favors to keep the class war in balance.

      I… had not thought of the situation from that perspective.

      On the one hand, I want to look at this and say ‘conspiracy theory’… but on the other hand I could potentially see this being possible.

      On the third hand, when in doubt, apply Hanlon’s Razor: don’t attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
