Reddit defining its platform as a place for consumers to discuss brands speaks volumes about its motives.
I mean, you're talking about Reddit, which is a brand, in this comment.
Like, people talk about things, and a lot of things have brands.
It's just a bit two-faced and dishonest for Reddit to be marketing itself to users as a platform for genuine discussion while in actuality being a marketing platform for brands.
If more Redditors realized what Reddit has become, they might be more willing to join a platform without the centralized control that enables manipulation.
