reddit is also a huge experiment in self governance. millions of people join communities mostly run by unpaid moderators, each with their own rules, norms, punishments, and little power struggles. every subreddit is a tiny society trying to figure out how much freedom people can handle before everything turns into chaos.

a race to the bottom happens when countries, companies, or even workers compete by lowering standards instead of improving quality.

one country cuts taxes and labor protections to attract businesses, another goes even lower, then another follows.

everyone is trying to become more competitive, but the end result can be worse wages, weaker protections, lower taxes, or more environmental damage.

basically, competition where winning can make everyone worse off.
