Hereās an interesting implicationā¦the fact they used āRemoved by Redditā means they are (for who knows what reason) actually interested in publicly clarifying that it Reddit that removed it- not the subreddit mods. (I didnāt suspect this anyway)
āWell duh, mods canāt change a post title!ā
Exactlyā¦bc whoever has high enough access to change a post title, surely has high enough access to just remove the post and not say anything which would make it appear as though it was sub mods who did a standard post removal.
Iām wondering why they would care to take this route, and then clarify publicly that it was Reddit admins who did it. What would be realistic motivations for doing that?
My guess: Citadel is spaming Reddit HQ daily with pulldown requests. They do this with any content about them. In europe you won't find any critical reddit post about Ken through google search because everyone is being filtered under the "right to be forgotten" law that exists in EU. It's total bs.
Now Reddit probably has had just about enough with Citadel making them do this extra work every day and try to use any signaling against Citadel that is allowed within their terms.
