    Reddit is going to have to make the argument that it just boosts “what people like” and it just so happens people like negative engagement.

    And I mean it’s been known for decades that people like bad news more than good news when it comes to attention and engagement.

      They probably will take that argument but that doesn’t instantly dissolve them of legal culpability.
