Honestly thought, dont you think this problem existed in the first place because reddit let that problem grow for far too long?
Reddit never saw it as a problem though. They spent years branding themselves as a bastion of free speech, and consistently telling people that they wouldn't ban controversial/offensive subreddits, so long as the content were legal. So to use your metaphor, these weren't squatters. These were people that Reddit invited in, told them to make themselves at home, used them to help renovate the house, and then busted in one morning, threw their shit out onto the street and told them they had to go.
