The few subreddits I follow have also become hostile towards users wrt participation. People are banned frequently and questionable accounts vote in easily recognizable patterns.
I'm not saying there's a concerted effort (by Reddit or 3rd parties) to sway public opinion -- but it certainly feels that way.
And yes, the site has become horrible for usability.
I really wish someone with more free time than me would combine a bunch of current buzzwords (distributed, blockchain, whatever) and cook up something that was easy to use but still free from the tyranny of special interest and / or profit.
That's not to say that they shouldn't get rich in the process, just that they should be building something incorruptible.
I'll donate $1000 to a crypto address if others are willing to match.
