We got banned for money. Advertising in a place that allows free speech isn't safe for products and services. The Fattening was just the first step in a gradual reduction of opinion (and Redditors) that would be problematic for advertisers. Fat people in particular are vulnerable to advertising and valuable to advertisers, they'll believe anything that makes them feel good no matter what the cost. There has been a lot more bans, so many that at this point, no one who still frequents Reddit pays much attention. The sheep are staying and the wolves are moving in. The rest of us are moving on.
