Also, remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism's status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.

This is an insightful take that I've not seen discussed as much as I think it should be. People like to make fun of billionaires for being apparently stupid, but there's more going on here when the stupid decisions of these billionaires are resulting in directly destroying tools that have become increasingly and specifically used for anticapitalist actions.
Hence also why Meta is so interested in getting in on the fediverse in whatever capacity they can; they want to influence and direct the conversations of the working people in opposition to them, and eventually they'll try to destroy this too.
