Reddit is a tool. It's software; a middleman. The value is provided by the group.

Take a view at the attitude of the current admins:

> Well, now she's gone (you did it reddit!), and /u/spez has the moral authority as a co-founder to move ahead with the purge. We tried to let you govern yourselves and you failed, so now The Man is going to set some Rules. Admittedly, I can't say I'm terribly upset.

How would you feel if Microsoft Word started criticizing people based on the content they written? This is a thing?

Reddit was just a tool. The admins need to step out of the way. I don't care if there are "creepy" reddits.

The entitled and pompous attitude of admins is so elitist it's sick. You're a forum. You're not gods. You're not priests.
