Reddit's recent policy changes focus on strengthening its control over subreddit management, effectively limiting user autonomy and stifling protests against company decisions.
The requirement for user permissions to modify subreddit access underscores Reddit’s move to minimize backlash, aiming to streamline community management according to corporate interests.
Last year, a significant protest erupted when users shut down thousands of subreddits in response to policy changes, demonstrating the platform's vulnerability to community power.
CEO Steve Huffman's dismissive attitude toward user protests reflects a growing divide between platform management and its user-driven origin, raising questions on accountability.
