You may notice throughout reddit that subscription based services (xbox live, psnow, disney+, google stadia, etc.) are heavily posted and promoted. Though in many cases these are simple bot postings and are often downvoted by actual users (most recently when it comes to google stadia), you can notice that the posts keep gaining traction and are never removed despite their duplicate nature and the fact that they are thinly veiled advertisements. These topics are also often heavily moderated with many hidden posts automatically hiding any comments with certain keywords depending on the sub.
The other thing to notice is that there is active suppression of any promotion of consumer ownership. Articles have been submitted to major subreddits like r/movies discussing the merits of physical ownership of DVD/blu-ray ownership which have been either completely deleted or completely hidden. These are posts that make it to the front page of r/all, and the mods delete and hide the posts because they are not keeping with the agenda to move people to subscription based services. Physical media ownership is not the most profitable way of managing media and it gives too many rights to the consumer. Companies have been pushing for reduced consumer rights and repeating subscription payment services hard, and now we can see that the moderators on the payroll of these big companies are starting to enforce this agenda hard.
Reddit is dead. The major subreddits are bought and paid for by corporations.
