People play with anonymity that social media can provide to make money, now companies also do it. Not proven fact, but my opinion as a web developer mind you. Lots of things that make it to the front page are not likeable, but somehow embedded with political and marketing messages, that's what corrupted the overall experience of browsing reddit for me. It seems to me that reddit mods, and even the platform, often do(does) side deals with certain accounts to allow and help posts to reach the front page as well, while reddit also fosters this with paid promotions on the site. We didn't know how much Twitch streamers made until that info was leaked this year, and it encouraged many others to stop wasting their time on the platform in hopes of fairness. Reddit pays mods? It would be very interesting to know how much they get paid by reddit. The solution is found in proper accounting.
I think the Reddit situation would be very different if it had a "showdead" style option that let readers see removed comments. When you visit a subreddit, you could be reading a carefully constructed echo chamber of a single moderator and have no idea. These subreddits become an extension of what the moderators want without the moderators having to show their actions at all.

Some moderators have unbelievable amounts of free time to observe the subreddit and surgically remove discussions they disagree with. A subreddit moderator can remove posts and comments they don't want anyone to see.Ī lot of the popular subreddits and many of the more obscure subreddits are moderator-crafted echo chambers. Reddit has fallen to this same problem with subreddit moderators.
