I understand that the new theory of censorship is what you have described, but a large portion of the reddit community does not see it as actually being applied in that manner (the easiest example being the continued existence of SRS, which exists solely to violate the non-aggression principle).

My point above regarding arbitrary censorship really was that people decide what to view/consume based on how they perceive the product. Any site/entity that claims to do one thing, but is perceived as doing something else (even wrongly) is going to lose viewers/consumers. Rather than trying to clarify things or reevaluate the manner in which it is applying its own rules, reddit seems to be doubling down on the "you guys just don't understand" position. From a purely consumer standpoint, I don't care for the current business practice, so I'm not going to support the site.

That said, I look forward to engaging the Hubski community!
