The original idea of Reddit was to be a Bastion of Free Speech powered by the users, then Aaron Swartz got killed.

Censorship is disgraceful to the original idea of Reddit.

That's not even close to what people want today, because they realize that free speech makes them upset. They'll whine about the echo chamber they want to create with the new algorithm, because they are mad other people won't have to see what they have to say, but once the bubble is in place, they'll be really happy in them.

Except that they'll be buttmad that other people are allowed to talk with other minded individual, because those people are WRONG, and SHOULDN'T be allowed to continue. /s
