How can a platform be so narcissistic?!
They mistakenly believe they are a company that generates amazing content instead of being a company that hosts amazing content generated by others. It's the same problem Twitter, Youtube, and many other content hosting platforms have.
They think they sell beer. They sell the bottles.
This is an apt analogy. Because on reddit, a lot of the bottles actually turn out to be filled with piss.
And they screwed the best line
workersslaves who watched out for piss bottles, so the line slaves just took offOr worse.
Awesome analogy.
To extend it: the moderators made sure the label matched the beer's flavor.
