To me I think the scariest part is the unequal power dynamic of value-adders (contributors, content creators, and users) and administration. I'm so worried because reddit feels like the last remaining bastion of un-SEO'd, unsponsored information written by real human beings. Users don't have profit motives and instead care about sharing information in our shared "town square", but it turns out the owners of that space can and will revoke access to that information if it helps them make money.
Reddit is the proverbial, contemporary Library of Alexandria. Please don't set it on fire, guys...
