You have admitted to editing user content on your own website. This is a breach of trust between Reddit, Inc and the user base.
Why should any businesses now do business with reddit, when the integrity of content, data, and indeed the entire website is now in question after you edited content submitted by users and then attempted to hide it?
It brings in to question all other posts, and also brings to question potential conflicts of interest where you or other executives may edit content you have a personal issue with. Any potential business with reddit is now at risk of being influenced unduly by you or your staff. How do you address these issues?
