It’s fine to have dating preferences. The issue is when people who are just calling anyone who is conservative leaning terrible. If you don’t agree with someone’s political ideology, you should just respectfully disagree, not call them a terrible person.

Also, calling people evil for their options is a terribly way to convince them to change, it just makes them get really defensive. If you want to convince someone to change opinion, you need to have a respectful, insightful discussion.

That has nothing to do with conservatism. Just because some people who are conservative said that, doesn’t mean that that’s a part of it. Please attack specific ideas, not groups of people.

What happened was the top mod, who had been inactive for a while, came online and overrode the other mod’s decision to stay open. This caused a moderator dispute, which caused the admins to step in, and they decided to remove the top mod and reopen the sub.

(And if Reddit was maliciously forcing subs open, why would they choose r/AdviceAnimals?)

The problem is that no one can compete with YouTube. YouTube offers free 8k video hosting for everyone. And you have a relatively small number of ads. It’s basically impossible for any other video hosting service to provide this all for free.
