Banned from Reddit after posting John Oliver

My reddit account was 12 years old at this point

I'm guessing that's a big reason why. You know what Reddit used to be like, and that's not where they want it now, so you're more of a liability than an asset. They'd rather grow their userbase with millions of new users who will adapt to whatever shitty platform they're continuing to morph into.

However, pumping gas has definitely provided jobs for those who needed them. Hopefully they can find other work that is healthier for the employees - I can’t imagine inhaling gas fumes 8 hours a day is great for the body.

I realize this is the case, and I definitely don't want to run the risk of (1) making hundreds of other people's lives much harder just to remove a minor inconvenience for me, nor (2) gatekeep what is and isn't a viable job.... but I also don't see it stable (in the long term) to prop up types of work that don't actually need formalized employment to be done.
