Its also just bad business strategy.

It kinda works in places like reddit. Where you want very few writers and many readers.

Reddit money comes from page visits. Not content writes. Writing there is hard.

So highly curated content will be more profitable.

But reddit censorship basically 9 out of 10 writes. Most content is removed or hidden.

In a social network where the primary goal is to socialize censorship will demoralize and push users to other platforms.

They aren't there to spend most their time reading. They are there for interaction.

Every single act of censorship cuts deep into the users enjoyment.

They want to see replies, likes, shares.

When they see none of that they leave.

You could get away with that in 2020 when there were effectively zero alternatives.

Not 2025.

No one who isn't a totally insane woky is going to use it.
