Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

Maybe the mods try to sabotage the reddit stock by creating drama and a general mess. But that's paranoid reasoning.

I'm not here for mental gymnastics just to convince myself reddit doesn't suck.

It's a shit platform. It used to be good, but they sold out. Now it's a publicly traded corporation with a for-profit motive and a business model based on ad revenue. It's been corrupted, and it will never again be what it was.

Sorry if the truth is too much for you to handle.
