This article covers mostly the recent events, where Reddit tries to gaslight the mods into a “we need to talk”. As well as r/place opening.
I’m posting this here as it documents that the media already took notice of the hostility towards Reddit and Reddit Inc., including in r/place, even if the admins are trying to control the damage in it by screwing with the message.
It comes as no surprise that notorious comment editor Spez, famous for editing his detractors’ comments, is trying to control the message.

I fully agree with you. And if we dig deeper, Reddit was founded this way - by manipulating users. Why would people expect anything else than manipulation from that place?
