I'm not disagree with that. However reddit is trying to become a social media site when it never was that. It was always a place for people to anonymously browse. It was a superior form of slashdot really. But now they're just opting for a direction that caters to the "en-masse" crowd and not the people that genuinely care about the topic at hand. I'd say they've gotten so big they've fragmented each subreddit to be a destination of it's own.

While that's good and I'd be okay with this normally, reddit has had a decade of history showing they aren't afraid to generate a new policy to ban certain subreddits just because a minority of vocal losers want it banned.
