What does he have to sell, from what I can tell even in non political subs a lot of users I’ve known who posted have been permanently banned. From sports gaming and cooking subs.
It seems like reddit is just bots anymore. Actual traffic can’t be what it is like it’s heydey
It has definitely changed from what it was. They have been making deals to sell all the user reply threads to places like google for AI training. Maybe the bans are about “cleaning” their data model
That does not ring true, because controversy feeds engagement, and engagement increases overall activity and makes it possible to sell more ads.

I was permanently banned for talking bad about the current sh*tshow of an administration we have here in the US

Not if you ad sponsors are right leaning
Yes, controversy feeds engagement, but advertisers don’t want to appear in the vicinity of certain content, too. So it’s a balancing act.
“Used to” is the important thing.

Reddit is billionaire leaning now.
Ah well, good thing I left.
