Most subs / communities tend to devolve like this unfortunately.  No pay for moderation, too much spam, and power-tripping.  See it on FB groups and everywhere else.  

It's a monkey brain problem, I'm not sure what the fix is, honestly. Kind of like how politics attracts sewer rats and the good people run away.

I was banned for a month from r/Bitcoin for saying that I've gotten a lot of value out of Lyn Alden's premium newsletter.  I was responding to someone who was specifically asking whether it was worth the subscription or not.  I wasn't advertising, I was simply answering a dude's question.

Pissed me off and felt like abuse of power to me.
