You are spot-on about the HackerNews tech criticisms being irrelevant.

But I think the points about Reddit being toxic to advertisers because of the hate/porn/gore/mysogny are correct. It just takes one bad story and advertisers will flee the platform. There has been no mainstream examinination and investigation of what Reddit is. Once it starts, it's all over.

Have you been on Reddit lately? They purged all that crap and aggressively censor the entire platform now. The censorship has increased tenfold in the last couple of years.

One of the top stories on Reddit right now is about Nancy Pelosi, and one of the top comments is calling for her death. No moderation, only praise for the murder comment.

It just takes one newspaper to highlight that and it's over for Reddit as an advertising platform. And it can't be stopped because the moderation is local.
