  • Closed source (honestly, I'd rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of...)
  • It's annoying, slow and tedious
  • Works better in Chrome™ (I can't even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
  • Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma...)
  • It's a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
  • Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes...
  • The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
  • Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
  • Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
  • Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
  • Dark patterns everywhere
  • They block Tor users
  • (I can think of many more but need I go on?)

O see nothing wrong with censoring and making fun of MLM content. (Multi Level Marketing)

Yeah, maybe OP has something to do with them? They teach to stay away from MLM everywhere, it's not just reddit. And that's positive, because it's a scam

MLM in this case refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, not Multi-Level Marketing.
