That's it.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Probably, but that is a horrible business plan for Reddit. The awards system ended up being a great idea for Reddit to gain revenue; a mega upvote.
Honestly I don't think they care. I think they are only concerned about the immediate sale.
Each fiscal quarter, companies want to make more and more profit. If they aren't making more profit, they see it as a failure.
Eventually, a point is reached where you can't raise the price of your product or service any more without people leaving. You're draining your customers for everything they have, but you're still just barely beating out last quarter's profits.
So in desparation, you need to do whatever you can to see profits this quarter. Drop that feature, fire this team, and you've just barely beat last quarter. Phew.
But now we have this quarter to worry about, and we've burned a bit of goodwill with our consumers by removing that feature, and we're short-staffed because we laid off all these people.
And the cycle repeats, trading in long term longevity for short-term profits.
Quarterly capitalism is a cancer on the economy.
Who would be stupid enough to buy at this point?
They're guess: retail investors.
That guy that bought Kmart/Sears lol
Do you know something we don't know? Are they secretly courting a private buyer instead of actually going for an IPO?
