Is reddit owned and operated by a malicious entity? I used to be addicted to that platform, but now I can't stand it.

The largest owners are Advance Publications and Tencent. Advance also own Condé Nasty (Reddit even used to be under the Condé Nast banner). Weirdly they also own everyone's favorite plagiarism detection service Turnitin.

I know of Tencent and the controversy about them... I don't know anything about Advance though. Are they also controversial?
