Seems more simple and likely to me that the “normal” corrupt and crony capitalism we’ve allowed to take over our government and big businesses is just reaching even more for the next dollar, like they always do. Although the leadership at Twitter and Reddit seems particularly bad, maybe because their product would appear even more unsustainable with proper transparency.
It’s true that capitalism and public interest are generally incompatible. Though this seems a bit more nefarious, considering that actions at both Twitter and Reddit have only continued to devalue these institutions, no?
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, though. America will escape this rut when people realize it’s Big Cor’prit that we should be afraid of and not so much Big Guv’mint; the former is a virus that corrupts the body. And the immune system (checks-and-balances, separation of powers, etc.) have largely failed.
I can’t speak for Twitter, but from a shortsighted business standpoint, the third party Reddit apps weren’t generating any revenue for Reddit, and were shut down to drive more traffic to the ad-filled app
