I can sum up why reddit is crashing very quickly and succinctly.

1. It is too political and no actual discussions can be had, much less across isles.

2. Reddit mods, both reddit and subs, are corrupt as hell, do not follow their own rules, dox people, ban people for no rules broken, and to be honest racist and sexist as well.

3. The platform has become a echo chamber for some of the most idiotic and radical leftists I have seen outside a Hassann podcast.

4. Any form of social or behavioral decorum does not exist. You have a few layers of moron when you try to debate. Denial, counters with no proof, refusal to provide proof, embarrassment, ad hominen attacks. You can set your watch to this.

5. Reddit, like Digg, has gone corporate and anyone who does not lie to themselves knows that the country is now a corporatocracy. This is a HUGE issue with this country and why everyone is suffering from inflation and the like. When you have pharma charge you 20,000x the cost of a pill and use the excuse they have to afford R&D when we litterally pay for ALL THEIR R&D WITH OUR TAXES there is something very very wrong.

6. The subs are not even close to what their name or mission is. When did technology start talking about politics and the like?

7. When is the last time anyone in the public sector has wanted to do an AMA of any actual import? The site users are straight cancer and act like 12 year old edge lords. No REAL person wants to come to that garbage site to talk about their life works to be libeled by some little shit SmallPeePeeXxX69goku because they forgot to include their pronouns when they are talking about physics or the like.

8. Reddit gold is a literal joke.

9. The rules are hilariously hypocritical. You can be attacked, doxed, threatened, and more by other users in subs, but if you so much as stand up for yourself, or as I have been multiple times in the past, REPORT the users for what they are doing, can be banned by the mods because surprise surprise, most the time the most VILE and DISGUSTING users ARE the mods alt accounts.

That is a small list, but the really big reason really is the users at Reddit are just terrible people that are ideological worshipers and attack ANYONE who does not agree with them. Twitter is the only site I can think of who is more bankrupt of value on ANY stage.

Not sure why you are bring up some pharma drugs where government funded. This has nothing to do with how reddit was funded. Reddit was funded via angel/venture capital - funding sources below.

I thought it was rather straight forward. Reddit is bought and paid for by large corps. Even in your own link they proudly display their corporate investors, such as Tencent, Fidelity Investments, VY Capital and SV Angel (corp owned investment firms), etc. Tencent/China just invested another 300 million and judging how reddit thinks of it's users and their wants, do you really not think they are allowing tencent/china to have special rights and privileges on the site or dictating how reddit will behave? Reddit is doing the same thing that Digg did 13 years ago, being bought out by it's investors (corporations) and selling out it's users. That is why Digg died and people all went to Reddit. Now I know the people on Reddit are super soft, but even they will abandon ship once China starts forcing their own policies on Reddit, which certainly will not be the far far left like their user base.

From that I clearly stated that corporate interference or ownership is a huge problem in the country and used big pharma as an example. If you are confused about let me know which part and I will be happy to try to clarify.
