With how quickly Reddit and Twitter have destroyed their reputations, it almost feels like it's been intentional to bring down our giant public communication platforms as we enter a new age of misinformation.

I dare to argue that the reputation was destroyed for people who are less likely to be influenced by media. In other words, critical thinker’s probably didn’t trust the platforms just for their reputation to begin with.

Maybe it's a good thing. If people will grow up and realise that "everything you see on the internet is by default a piece of bullshit crafted to manipulate you", world will become a better place. The less trust we have, the better.

I dunno what you are implying, but Reddit and Twitter dug their own graves.

They repeatedly chose short term gain over the long term health of their platforms/users, and the debt is catching up with them.

I just am looking at two major platforms that have helped push back against the ruling class, and both got taken over and dismantled systematically

Twitter is alive and well, thank you.
