You literally left Reddit because of what capitalism did to it.

No, we left Reddit because of what Spez did to it.

Leadership is important when it impacts the bottom. Look at Twitter... That wasn't capitalism, it was Elon Musk.

I'm not propping up capitalism, I'm just pointing out that bad leaders can easily ruin successful and/or good things.

No, we left Reddit because of what Spez did to it.

And why did he do that?

Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great, before making it terrible.

There’s a balance in there somewhere. What we got ain’t it tho.

There is no balance though, the shit-ification that happened to Reddit is a necessary function of capitalism. What we saw as Reddit at its best was, from a capitalist's perspective, Reddit at its worst. I'm sure you've noticed a similar process taking place in lots of other areas as well.

What we saw as Reddit at its best was, from a capitalist's perspective, Reddit at its worst.

And capitalists will allow this "at its worst" phase in order to capture the market, before squeezing it. This pattern is consistent in many industries.
