Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps. (kbin.social)

I see, I think that's a valid point to make. For myself though, I don't really see or use Reddit in that manner since I always considered it to be a content and link aggregator. It has a collection of communities that I subscribe to see links/images/videos, and that's it. So in that sense I don't personally view it more than, as you say, an app to to manage your personal finances and watch TV shows.

Of course that's not to say that it's not capable of the things you've mentioned, it's absolutely able to influence the opinions of those that participate in the platform. And by extension it's reasonable to expect that the management of the platform needs to be trustable - which is being put to question with their recent actions.
