Thank you for this article OP. Interesting, but tough to read. All this about "the dark side of reddit". Phtt. Please. Does reddit have a dark side? Well, let's see, it's an open platform for people to use as they see fit. Do some people have a dark side? Yes. So does reddit have a dark side ... ? Well, that's an inevitable result of giving people the ability to do whatever they want. The alternative is censorship.
Yes, we'd all like to live in a world of sunshine and roses and have there be no such thing as disease or pain or /r/creepshots. But we don't live in that world. So can we please stop blaming the medium when the message is so clear - human beings are fucked, and as long as we are fucked, we will do fucked up shit.
When will society grow up and stop blaming the paper for the note that is written on it?

Have you heard about the dark side of photographs? People are taking fucking pictures of their nude bodies, and some sick fucks are killing people and taking pictures of their dead bodies.
I think it's about time we completely banned photos. We cannot allow a medium that can be abused to such a dangerous degree.
