When I removed the "client" parameter to post the link here, the original post ranked higher. However, that's really neither here nor there. Reddit is consistently cited as outranking original content.
Personally, I've learned not to cry about sites that don't rank. My time is better spent building new sites. Sometimes de-ranked sites come back in subsequent updates. Not everything sticks on the first try. You have to be persistent if you want to profit from organic traffic.
My impression is that these creators have one-trick ponies they have deeply invested themselves into. They may not be good at creating new ideas. Expectations of fairness are misplaced. You have to roll with the punches. Dwelling on what they think Google "should be" is a waste of time. Highly recommend focusing on areas within your immediate control. Individual agency is empowering. Victimhood, not so much.
