So I've never really looked at reddit in a "meta" way - I never really concerned myself with what goes on behind the scenes, and even though my account has been on for over 3 years, I've only really been using reddit maybe for the past two months.

My question is, why is The_Donald allowed to continue to exist? I read that Gizmodo article on how "Reddit is Tearing Itself Apart", and while I don't know how true and accurate the article is in describing the sub's behaviour on and offline, I would think that half of that stuff would be enough of a reason to shut that shit down. Just a legitimately curious question I've got for you all who seem to understand these things more.
