Your real concern should be that Spez gets to censor what you're reading in a real way.

Not only does he get to remove stuff that counters his narrative, he also can allow certain types of narratives to flood the site.

Editorial control is huge, and giving that to Spez seems insane to me. That, along with Facebook, 4chan, and every other social media is certainly how we got a shitty president who was basically nobody relevant until 2015.

    I can't stress this enough.

    Before the api changes killed transparency tools, you could look at the censorship that reddit was doing. Literally 97% of posts that reached the front page were deleted.
