View submission: Content Policy Update
I've been fine with every change up until this one.
Between 'making reddit worse' being just about the most subjective criteria you could choose and 'what the average schmuck finds offensive' being almost as easily abused (and actively stacking the deck/creating a positive feedback loop), these changes are clearly an excuse to give Reddit's owners carte blanche to do whatever they want.
Which isn't necessarily a problem in and of itself: it is their site to do with as they please. The problem is that it's disingenuous (at least have the balls to state 'we reserve the right to remove any content for any reason') and it is antithetical to creating a platform users can have confidence in. User confidence is already a big problem on this site between pervasive community moderation, deletion of content being invisible to OPs, and the long-standing issue of shadow-banning users. These changes only compound the existing problems for users and only benefit Reddit's business-side.
There's nothing here!
