Did Reddit delete the Los Angeles whistleblower's user account?

Yes, I'm sure there's some technicalities that can be found to "justify" this but I'm also sure there's a lot DMs going between some well-connected people regarding this now deleted account.

Reddit is the most gamed astroturfed social media on the internet. Few years ago reddit released the most active cities and top turned out to be airbase airlington.

Reddit is heavily gamed ever since they planned to go public and appointed some directors from Government.

I think people have it in their head that all social media companies are Facebook - hugely profitable behemoths that dominate the web. But in reality, Reddit is like Twitter, a good day is a day where they keep the lights on. Reddit started looking at an IPO in 2021, and filed a draft with the SEC in Dec '21, valuing them at around $15Bn. That was at the peak of the market, comparables have halved since then, which means their likely IPO value is lower than their last private funding round. And once they're public they really need to make some money.

So yeah, I think we need to be realistic what these companies are, they're weak. They have no business model, and yes, anyone big enough is going to bully them - whether that's governments or whether that's other large companies.
