What are you talking about? The only stuff I've seen about that is not trusting the preinstalled keys.
But if you don't trust keys that are preinstalled on your tpm, then you also shouldn't trust https. Https is vulnerable to a mitm attack if you don't used signed certificates. Those certificates need to be signed to certificate authorities. If you can't trust the CA public keys that came preinstalled, you can't trust the Internet.
What's so bad about personalized recommendations? I think they're amazing.
What happened was the top mod, who had been inactive for a while, came online and overrode the other mod's decision to stay open. This caused a moderator dispute, which caused the admins to step in, and they decided to remove the top mod and reopen the sub.

(And if Reddit was maliciously forcing subs open, why would they choose r/AdviceAnimals?)
Even though it was ethically very bad, it was legal. And Reddit had a policy of not removing content, unless it was illegal or doxxing.
The fact is that they wanted to follow the same principles as the government, and allow complete freedom of speech. And if you are following freedom of speech, the ethicality of content is irrelevant.
Reddit never approved of r/jailbait. They simply allowed it.
He was forcefully added as a mod on the subreddit. Reddit used to have a system which allowed you to make someone mod without requiring them to accept.

The problem is that no one can compete with YouTube. YouTube offers free 8k video hosting for everyone. And you have a relatively small number of ads. It's basically impossible for any other video hosting service to provide this all for free.
You would absolutely get DMCA takedowns. YouTube's system is designed to allow copyrighted content without getting it completely removed.
With e2e encryption, you don't need to trust the server, you only need to trust the clients.
Reddit status has a small delay.
Maybe, but this was a huge increase in usage. Reddit never expected to deal with anywhere near thousands of subs going private simultaneously.
Reddit didn't design their systems around needing to deal with a huge number of subs going private all at the same time. It's not surprising that it caused a short outage.
Private subs may hurt Reddit slightly more than restricted, but restricted subreddits don't hurt users/the Internet nearly as bad. And if we want support for our cause, we should not to hurt the users too much.
