[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 14900, member: 7"] Managing (censoring) your community in this way probably becomes more important when you rely on money generated from those people, directly or indirectly. If you allow your community to develop a bad reputation, that may effect advertisers, your PR, and the community members themselves. All it takes is one disgruntled user to go complain about some -ism on twitter or reddit, and then, next thing you know, there's a campaign to cancel you and advertisers pulling out. Such a thing may not hurt [I]you[/I], because you don't have any business arrangements on the line. Your incentives are different. In a broader sense, I suppose that's why there's so much censorship on the internet today: money. I don't know anything about LTT, I didn't watch the video, I'm just speaking in broad theoretical terms. [/QUOTE]
