Just posted a question/discussion on Reddit about EV tarrifs. Was up for several hours, generated a great discussion and then it was removed by a mod. They reckoned it shouldn’t be there, despite loads of super-helpful comments that were relevant to the community. The mod directed me to another sub. I posted in there and it was auto removed in minutes. Then my account was banned. Platform is fucked.
And what was the post about?
I am really curious what happened. I left Reddit due to the flood of silently promoted posts. At one point my feed got flooded with completely irrelevant content about AI, with no views or comments and from obscure subredits I never heard of. Absolutely no reason to show them, other than to advertise, but they were not marked as promoted.
That tipped the scale for me, Reddit was the last usable popular social media platform.
