Some chinese company has funded reddit recently but I don't know how much. They don't own reddit (as this would trigger the US law to interfere), but obviously can have some influence as shareholders and this was apparent during the HK riots. But before that it was evident that reddit was leaning towards leftism and censorship, the administrators would send mod mail about how they enjoyed gay parades and they would ban more and more subs for 'racism' and 'misogyny' and so on. They stand with the rest of the big companies like google, youtube, fb, cloudfare, wp and so on in trying to promote cultural marxism.
