So it seems we're entering the era where big companies does not even care to pretend to look like an open platform anymore. Twitter, now Reddit, and probably a few others to follow. Users of these platforms got probably warned several times over the years. But of course, most of them did not listen. "You're being paranoid", "This can't possibly happen, lol, rofl, stupid laughting smiley", "Why would they do that?"
You sang! I'm at ease;
For 'tis plain at a glance,
Now, ma'am, you must dance.
