Reddit is run by an American company. Thus, whatever is featured on the site needs the implicit approval of that company's owners. Thus, the content on Reddit needs to be palatable to that company's advertisers or else the company will lose money. This leads to homogenization and mainstream voices drowning out everything else. Small, independent, local newspapers are supposed to counteract that. It doesn't happen though since most local newspapers are owned by large conglomerates.
