Reddit is sooooo going out of business within the next 3 years. Can't say I'm too sad though, I never appreciate people trying to censor anybody else just cause they don't agree with their message.

I don't think it is necessarily going to go out of business. I just think moderators need to be brought to heel. Reddit has gone from a community to talk about just about anything, to a community of echo chambers. If you don't echo a certain ideology in a certain sub-reddit, you're going to be downvoted to oblivion.
While this is certainly a bad place to be in for Reddit, it's less of a problem with the site and more of a problem with the moderators. Each subreddit needs to hold the sub's mods accountable for their actions. Reddit is much like a free market economy, where, if your sub sucks because of oppression, supression, or downright censorship, another sub will arise and upend the original. Redditors just need to hold mods accountable.
Not just the mods of the subreddits, the CEO has also been caught red handed censoring:

Politics aside, it's still a shitty practice.
