So could anyone and everyone all at once. In a copyrightless scenario, the sheer force of the creative effluence would drown out the power of HBO.

Thats exactly what I’m thinking, and also that Reddit is expecting there to be moderators of the subreddits based upon the financial resources of the subreddits’ subject. And not just from ambitious governments, but commercial enterprises also.

So perhaps Microsoft employs a mod, and so does Apple, probably game devs and sports leagues and so on so that those moderators will be able to be controlled via the financial arrangements between Reddit and the NFL, or Reddit and Apple, and none of the messy business of courting consumers’ real opinions has to come into play.

“Too big to fail” commercial subreddits could become overtly supported by Reddit.

I’ve been on Reddit 14 years. One account. Never used an app. Still used old.reddit til the last.

Deleted all my comments and then my account yesterday.

You’re right on the FB thing tho. Did the same thing in 2012. Took a few years for the popularity of “delete your facebook” to catch on, but now the idea that facebook is bad for you is super mainstream compared to 2012.
