I'm seeing reddit's user base as less and less valuable. There is so much active disinformation with purchased reddit accounts (because aged accounts attract less suspicions) that's ripe with vote manipulation.
By actively triggering reddit's vote manipulation trigger on somebody's comment, you effectively have a way to censor and control information and how it's portrayed.
Reddit CEO directly altering user's comments that criticize him seems to signal that the platform is incapable or unwilling to address the poor value proposition of a purely anonymous based social networks that serves as stage for anyone with the monetary and networking resource to manipulating the casually browsing redditor and their opinion .
