https://www.newsweek.com/reddit-quarantine-subs-toxic-controversial-moderators-1144663

The subs placed under quarantine ranged from the outright gruesome to offensively deplorable. The largest subreddit put under quarantine amassed more than 400,000 subscribers before being annexed. It showed exactly what youd think: gory images and videos of real-life deaths. There were also anti-Semitic subs like r/whitenationalism and r/fragilejewishredditor, as well as subs against gay marriage like r/againstgaymarriage.

Reddit administrator landoflobsters went into a bit more detail as to why a subreddit would be quarantined rather than banned. In evaluating a subreddit for a possible quarantine, we consider what it is dedicated to overall, the admin wrote. That is, a few off-color comments do not warrant a quarantine, nor do heated conversations or even controversial themes overall. Instead, quarantine is intended for subreddits that are explicitly dedicated to things like racism or anti-Semitism, misogyny, hoaxes, gore/extreme morbidity, and other extreme communities that may have received multiple warnings from us and have not made efforts at change. When asked why r/the_donald, a controversial pro-Trump subreddit known to safe-house Russian propaganda, was allowed to continue to exist, landoflobsters said administrators evaluate each community on its own merits.... There have always been claims we should ban T_D and as always, well continue to hold each community accountable for complying with our site-wide policies, reported The Verge.

Reddit will slowly faze out any sub that isn't just an SJW sub like r/politics

It happens to every platform that goes completely mainstream/commercial

Corporations want you as SJW as possible, got to whine about Trump all day and buy their shit

I'm assuming they quarantined Ice Poseidon because he doesn't moderate language.
You can call someone any curse word there and he literally does not give a single fuck.

it's true though.
Look at Twitch, Reddit, even Youtube slowly.
the bigger, more controlled by advertisers these companies become the more they control the content on their site. It has to be corporate approved.

And basically corporations only approve of SJW cucklords, but even then they can't cross certain boundaries with what they are allowed to say.

Trihex just got banned on Twitch for saying the F slur. You get banned on Twitch now for drinking too much alcohol lmfao.

The cool thing about Youtube is at least they allow you to say or do what you want, they just demonetize you, which is better than outright banning you like Twitch

My point is Twitch wasn't always this way, and has changed it's ToU to meet corporate demand. I'm not saying they aren't in their rights to do so.

These websites start out with freedom of expression to attract content creators and users, then they slowly take away those freedoms to appease advertisers. It's the life cycle of every community based website that goes big time.

I can't find the clip. It may have just been a shove.

She was walking around New York and some thug pushed her on stream so she was banned for "self harm"

There are other Streamers who got robbed on stream who were also banned for "self harm"

basically if you go outside and if anyone attacks you or tries to steal your shit, you will get banned.

Seems like you'd be interested in a system that doesn't force outlets and sites to rely on advertisers.

I mean, what are the alternatives? You could have a donation based system or a subscription fee, but that kind of a revenue stream will never be as effective as corporate advertisers and sponsors.

Twitch actually has a system that could work on it's own. They take a cut of all donations to streamers and that could be used to maintain the website as well as make them profit. However, Twitch is a business and they want to maximize profits, not just do the bare minimum. So they have ads on top of their donation revenue. And most people don't care enough to the point where they would donate to offset the money they would make from corporations after giving them control.

And I don't really expect people do. The internet is oversaturated with free content, there are practically no incentives to pay up.

No, it's only because of the Free Market that this isn't as annoying as it could be.
There is still a demand for unfiltered content, and because there is a demand other websites prop up to fulfill it.

Youtube has actually taken quite a bit of Streamers from Twitch because of their policy changes. Youtube Live is making their push to compete and they basically have no rules on their platform. You can practically do or say anything on Youtube live as long as it's not a crime or pornography. You can say the N word for 4 hours straight on Youtube live and not get banned. You can broadcast fights, criticize others, drink as much as you want, they literally don't give a single fuck as long as you are following the law.

You also have voat and 4chan which are platforms where the users can say and do watever the fuck the want.

I mean, it's kind of the cycle of these platforms anyway. Remember Digg? Then Reddit came out as a free platform and took its place. Perhaps in 5 years after all the bans, reddit will be replaced by something else.

I'm more complaining about these companies tanking their services to appeal to corporate than I am about the market itself.

I'm fine with not going to Twitch, I watch Youtube Live instead

It's complicated. They pretty much never punish Twitch thots on Twitch because of alleged things behind the scenes. Just look up Hassan. Supposedly the Twitch mods solicit sexual pics from the thots on Twitch and in return give them leniency.
That said, the Incel outrage against twitch thots has hurt the website as a whole.
They have cracked down hard on sexual content on Twitch because of the bad press.

It's because of the Incel outcry that streamers like Vexxed get banned for changing his pants on Stream or guy streamers get banned for just changing their shirt.

The whole reason why incels got mad is because they thought it was a double standard that their favorite streamer got banned while Thots basically sold sex to children and got away with it.

But because of these Incels, the Twitch Staff just made the policies even more stirct to crack down on Twitch Thots.

Why the fuck would you want the policies to be MORE strict?

I don't like Twitch Thots, but guess what? I can just not watch them! I don't need them banned to make me happy.

It's such a simple concept. Not watching something you don't like.

they send you an email on why they banned you. I can't find the email where they told her she was banned for "self-harm", but you can read about the incident on LivestreamFails, several threads about it with thousands of upvotes. She got banned right after that happened.

I'm guessing you won't believe the thread though so I'll try to find the email.
