CEOs will happily restrict your freedoms for just a bit of profit, and destroy any competitors who threaten their monopoly. I don’t get how anyone can defend this system in good faith.
The problem is that you cant really have a competitor to reddit. People want all their news sources to be in one place. Imagine if you had /r/soccer on reddit but then /r/soccer on a different site. It would be two split communities. Its kind of set up in a way that makes it hard for competitors to exist unlike other products
I am not sure everyone uses/used reddit like that. 99% of the time, when I use reddit, I type in the subreddit I want to visit, I am very rarely (typically only when I click the URL) on the main page or on things like /r/all. So for me, the main benefit of using reddit is that I don’t need to log in multiple times.
RSS readers are also a way to combine news from various sites.

Can’t eliminate the “I’ll just do without” competition.
Like, when I got rid of Netflix… I didn’t sign up for an additional new service. I just watch YouTube.
When I stopped using Facebook so much, I didn’t go to another service – I just didn’t use social media as much.
because if the government gets involved and does a things then that’s bad
