This level of editorial influence sounds to me like Reddit is becoming more of a media publisher/editor instead of just a platform, which would (should) remove their protection from defamation & other law suits based on content published on the site…
this is a good take and probably an indicator of the direction the investors have been pushing reddit into
Which is all negated by the fact that reddit only exists because the user base creates and curates the content that other users want.
When that dynamic is removed reddit will just be another deflating has-been media site.
