This isn't even about Reddit the company. /r/canada got taken over by far right political people who will ban anyone not conservative. The /r/mattress mentioned in this post is also commonplace with private corporations taking over subreddits of interest to ban their competitors. Israel, a nation-state, also pays the mods of /r/news and /r/worldnews. You can't post anything, even factual articles, that goes against a very specific political narrative without being banned.

Besides allowing it to happen, Reddit the corporation is not the one doing this. It's private interests of all sorts that are driving down the quality and diversity of discussions for a website that often ranks at the top of google search results.
