As much as I hate to give Reddit the benefit of the doubt, I think you’re right that Hanlon’s razor may well apply here, albeit substituting incompetence for stupidity.



I think you meant to say "substituting stupidity" -- the new thing is the substitute for the old thing.


Hanlon’s Razor states: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I’m saying Reddit is incompetent in this case, rather than stupid. Not quite sure what you’re getting at?


Oh, my mistake. For some reason I thought it stated incompetence.


No worries; I assumed you weren’t being malicious.
