Ultimately fuck capitalism, its capitalisms market forces that drive this behaviour.
you can't blame every personal comportement to capitalism. it's to easy.
edit: so you'll downvote instead of argue. no wonder why blaming is your way to go.
But this thing with the Reddit API is, uh, directly related to capitalism? This isn't grasping at straws, it's literally capitalists doing a capitalism.
Like, they're going "give us a bunch of money, or we're going to restrict your access to this, because it's our private property". At it's core, that... That's what capitalism is.

No, it's directly related to management making a terrible and short-sighted decision. Capitalism is a concept, it's not a person taking action based on a decision. Maybe that decision is, in turn, based on capitalistic ideas, but then the policy isn't directly related to capitalism and is instead an indirect consequence.
Here, its born of bad problem solving, terrible communication, and inept strategy. Not an intrinsic problem with capitalism.
