Anyone else think it was suspicious that China bought Reddit and then Reddit put r/the_Donald in "Quarantine"? Sound familiar?

Love to see China's investments go sour.

Their investments are investments in propaganda. It was successful at this point. To break it we must make Reddit disappear and lose all influence.

Take a look at Facebook for example. 10 years ago....

EVERYONE COOL was on it. If you weren't on it, it was because you were my mom.

CONTRAST to today? EVERYONE cool or uncool has one, ESPECIALLY MY MOM.

But Facebook is literally worse than Hitler now.

But more people THAN EVER use it.

And pretty much universally no matter who I talk to... they "hate Facebook" and yet Facebook makes more money than ever.

Even though I can't seem to actually find anyone who likes Facebook, Republican or Democrat.

They made Facebook "better for everybody" by making it worse for everybody. Just like Reddit.

And they both make WAY WAY WAY more money for doing so.

Reddit is doing better than ever financially.

China, I'm sure appreciates their propaganda utility. And I'm sure they like the profit. And lucky for China, they don't have to choose.

So it doesn't matter which is more important to them because in some ways, the propaganda and the money making are the same strategy... it's not either or.

Is that when it became hateful to tell someone that they are free to have their own opinion? I didn't do much on reddit, so I don't really know. It certainly seems like an attitude the CCP would have. Something like this: "No, you must only have CCP approved thoughts."

Even after all the Tom-fuckery Reddit did what was the nail in the coffin for me was when they said IN THEIR OFFICIAL RULES that racism would not be tolerated unless it was toward white males.

They didn’t like their small igloos so they went off somewhere else to make their big igloos

I can't say it was "suspicious" as much as it was just obvious and predictable.

It’s funny because if I was an advertiser I would never waste money on that site. The only people there are basement dwelling commies and trans faggots with no money.

As suspicious as watching a dog hike its leg next to you and suddenly feeling wet

I for one saw the Covid-19 reference in your comment.
