As of now social media has no real oversight so there is nothing stopping it from selling user data and keeping up engagement by pushing something controversial in their feed. It doesn’t care about the users mental health and just looks at dollar signs. I can see where they are coming from…
It may not “end” Reddit but I do think this will end Reddit as we know it. It will just be a shell of itself just like Facebook is no longer a place for college friends to connect and share photos.
Really impressed with the reporting from the verge on the Reddit protest and beyond.
