They only did it after all the nazis fled to their own site. Reddit changed the algorithm so their blatant rule breaking with stickies would stop flooding /r/all. Back at the peak I checked and it was 75% of the top few pages of all was just t_d. They changed how reddit worked instead of dealing with the rule breakers because they supported the nazis.
It would almost be better if they kept it because they agreed with it. In fact they don’t care about the content. They care about “engagement”, which is the same reason you got terrible content on Facebook, pre-Elon Twitter, etc. Anything that made clicks was good. Promoting hate because it’s profitable is one of those “banality of evil” moments.
Edit: I’m not saying post-Elon Twitter is better. He’s promoting hate for a different reason.
Remember how long it took reddit to ban t_d after they helped organize a nazi rally?

I spent fucking years screaming into the void about that cesspit
Same. It’s neat how quickly the admins can ban a sub when they don’t agree with it about everything and like what it’s doing.
