I don't like the idea to blame a system instead of the people directly responsible for this decision at Reddit. it's like they are victim of it of capitalism and couldn't make another decision.

even under capitalism, Reddit could have found another solution. they could have milked third party app by bringing a slightly unfair price. blaming capitalism is too easy and in my book, often used by individuals to distance themself from their own responsibility. like the classic "they are no ethical consumption user capitalism, thus I can consume whatever I want it's not my fault it's the system. bad system, bad."
