They are condoning reddit by continuing to use it

There's another comment that points out that reddit screws up search engines results in order to get more front page hits.

Just how long will it need to be pointed out that platforms are evil, and anti-Web, and you should be shunned for using them ?

(I had some hope for reddit myself - that it would not fall to the same issues somehow, but that hope is long gone now...)

It's sad, but few people these days put in the minimal effort to set up a forum. Or sign up for one.

Reddit is the easiest free way, but you pay the price in the end, and it's very high.

Related is how both storage and processing is very cheap these days, and yet you don't see many ISPs providing an out of the box experience featuring a mini-NAS, Nextcloud server, e-mail server, website server (including a personal blog and a phpBB forum ?)... on their modem/router boxes !
