Founder of Reddit and one of the developers of the RSS standard.

Huge Free speach advocate and very against intellectual "property". He wanted knowledge to be free and accessible for everyone and killed himself after he was accused of things that could've brought him to prison for a very long time. He probably did these things which are kinda similar to things Sci-Hub does nowadays.

Will they never learn

But reddit is fundamentally built different than other social media platforms. Reddit is more like a collection of forums than a social media platform. The only thing that keeps people on reddit is the content and that can be moved.

On Youtube its the Algorithm and the Content Creators that keep people to use the platform. PeerTube and LBRY simply don't have the creators Youtube has.

On reddit people choose what to see. On YouTube the algorithm simply is wayy more important than on reddit.

PeerTube won't take off unlike Lemmy did and still does. People won't switch from YouTube to PeerTube because the creators they watch aren't there. Also the YouTube Algorithm is what people make use YouTube in the first place.

Reddit isn't creator based and doesn't necessarily need an Algorithm since the users choose what to see anyways. So the Lemmy experience isn't actually that mich worse than the reddit experience
