Its simple greed and disdain for their users that they somehow believe if they begin to charge for something that used to be free the use base will simply eat it and be happy.

Absolutely not. Citizens can be just as much a victim of terrorist states as those they affect beyond their borders, and are just as deserving of humanitarian aid as any other civilian in an active warzone.

Not a fan of the framing here, ‘were’ vs ‘would be’ as if the later is just a hypothetical rather than the reality of civilians in Gaza.

Totally agree. There’s no reason to respond to posts where the OP on Reddit will never see it, and the bot posts drown out any genuine user posts.

It works for a small number of cases, but on the whole it’s a misguided attempt to fake content instead of growing communities naturally and it needs to go.
