So, maybe crazy conspiracy guy. Probably, actually.
But l mean…
-
/u/maxwelhill is still silent since Ghisilaine Maxwells arrest. This was a long term power user and has been around pretty much since the beginning. At the time it went silent, the account was #8 in total karma.
-
Aaron Swartz was a founder of reddit and died by “suicide” in 2013. Lots of controversy around all events leading up to it. He was hanged, just like Jeff Epstein. Perhaps he knew too much?
-
Reddit was scarily protective of /r/theDonald.
-
Spez was a mod of jailbait subs. And was quite reluctant to do anything about them, too.
-
I still contend that monetizing API was a strategic move to get long term tech-savvy users (the proponents of open source, choice in software…largely left-wing users) off the site…they wanted us gone.
-
I still contend that Ron Paul’s 2008 reddit fame was a trial run for utilizing social media to mobilize young white men towards conservativism.
Idk. Maybe I’m just being really paranoid, but man…I’m really looking at reddit, Spez, and the past decade or so in a different light.
I just have no perspective into things like this. The only social media I am on is linkedin which is going to be hard not to be on till im homeless and facebook which is about a sorta email alternative for people I know who want to get a hold of me and some groups that use it as the virtual space. Which reminds me that I need to do my kinda weekly check of facebook to see if someone is trying to contact me or if the group has an update.
