overly simplistic way

It was hyperbolic of course. But really,

Users are the primary customer, and they don’t provide any direct revenue

How can someone who doesn't provide revenue be the primary customer of a profit oriented company? Ahead of others who actually do, like advertisers?

It might be better if the terms are swapped. I'm only calling them primary because they have to come first before the secondary, and they're the foundation for everything. There's probably a better way to term them.

Oh, I'm not denying that the users are the foundation for the business model but when Reddit makes business decisions, they first listen to those who pay them.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
