It's entirely different here. Imagine being offered the benefit of the doubt, rather than having literally every word picked apart even while ignoring the other 90% of the words that went along with it. SOOO many comments on Reddit are along the lines of "there are sentences after that one you know...", in response to snarky people who were invited by Huffman to share their snark, to increase engagement stats.

Don't get me wrong, there are places MUCH worse than Reddit. I could name a Discord server for instance, that often shares screenshots of my exact words in the most misleading way possible, somehow every time. Like in one instance they couldn't manage to share the entire sentence or it would have actually made sense, so they just lifted the middle few words that they wanted - if anyone bothered to read the words immediately before or after they would immediately see the truth... but they guessed correctly that no-one would bother. I'm not naive enough to think that this is an accident, every single time.

But the point of sharing things on Reddit isn't always "communication", and instead it seems to have shifted more towards emotional vomit, to share their feelings of depression, by attacking others. When you understand why they do it... it makes sense, although somehow that doesn't manage to make Reddit "fun" again:-(.
