Meh. Sometimes if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's not the fault of the downvote button. Reddit had a core culture of openness in the beginning - god knows I had enough debates in the comments. But at some point one side decided that debating isn't enough, and it needs to control the medium.

It might just be an amazing coincidence, but after they succeeded reddit stopped being fun.

And it wasn't even remotely subtle, because it went down kicking, screaming and throwing the wildest tantrums I've ever seen.
