I don't use reddit anymore but I do remember it definitely changing when it was bought up by a media company. Basically a hostile takeover.

A lot of people have no idea of the enormous scale of users and content being removed from reddit to conform with extremist political ideology.

A huge amount of it is done in secrecy with no transparency. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of innocent users shadow banned. Millions and million of comments secretly removed.

A lot of the tactics they employ should really be illegal as they constitute psychological abuse and use mechanisms that were intended to target extremely abusive users (such as people posting CP ironically), non-humans and literal criminals.

They're not intended for use on normal users whose politics you disagree with or that might violate some trivial rules.

I vaguely remember the creepshots thing and it wasn't a sub I knew anything about but I remember it spilling out everywhere. This was around the "clean up reddit" saga.

One thing I particularly remember is a group of extremely vicious and militant users waging war against the sub, extremists, you could almost call cyber terrorists and the overall impression was that reddit took their side or was afraid of them. That marked the downfall of reddit. They should have done everything to remove those kinds of users instead of bowing to their demands.
