Reddit trying to say upvoting posts in this sub or subs that are against right wing politics is worth a ban
(r.50501.chat)
I guess be careful with Reddit now, because I haven't up voted anything celebrating anyone's harm or death. I've only upvoted things that bring awareness to how awful certain people are or things in this subreddit. Absolutely wild.

Most other services are passively exploitative like you're describing. I can at least see an argument for that being a trade-off: using a "free" service in exchange for profiting from your data.
reddit does this too, but on top of that is also actively threatening to ban users for voting. That's just using the platform as intended.
As you noted, most of these services are hostile in ways that go unnoticed by the userbase. This is markedly more hostile than that, which is I think the point of the comment above. In an internet of services that are shitty toward users, reddit's a bit extra shitty toward theirs.
