Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.
There is zero benefit to banning celebrities and taking the fallout. Why would they? If they are profit driven they wouldn’t. Even if they were cartoonishly evil they only hurt themselves.
…you’re almost there, keep thinking just a little longer…
Maybe the mods try to sabotage the reddit stock by creating drama and a general mess. But that’s paranoid reasoning.
I’m not here for mental gymnastics just to convince myself reddit doesn’t suck.
It’s a shit platform. It used to be good, but they sold out. Now it’s a publicly traded corporation with a for-profit motive and a business model based on ad revenue. It’s been corrupted, and it will never again be what it was.
Sorry if the truth is too much for you to handle.
Reddit does suck without doubt.
