I’d argue it is exactly that - the space to post whatever floats your boat is the service they’re selling. There are also a bunch of other transactions where you’re the product, but that’s not the point here.

Which is why I’ve switched to Lemmy. I’m under to illusion Reddit owes me or the moderators anything. Nobody from Reddit had ever forced anyone to moderate anything.

I’ve loved their service; I don’t anymore - hence I’m here.
