Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great

Engineers and designers made it great. Reddit could very well exist without capitalism (see Lemmy). What fucked up Reddit was explicitly capitalist incentives.

Lemmy would not have existed without Reddit. Lemmy is a clone of reddit!

Plus reddit put all the work intro attracting users and communities in the first place, before driving them to places like lemmy.
