Unfortunately, tipped work provides some of the last options for people without advanced degrees to earn a living wage in the U.S., so eliminating tipping won’t turn out all roses.

This has been my experience as well. I am leaving Reddit less because of the corporate ownership and more because I hate the mods. Last September, I posted a question in r/JapanLife about Internet routers, and the mod removed it and banned my account. Last week, I replied to a thread I saw on the Popular feed, and didn’t notice it was in JapanLife, and Reddit suspended my account for it. That was the last straw, so I deleted my accounts on Reddit and came here. I guess there’s nothing to stop the mods from Reddit coming here and bringing their toxicity with them though.

I agree. I looked up the article to see what journal published it, and Neurology is a highly regarded, peer-reviewed journal.
