If you feel that way, do what Voat did. Open your own site with your own rules or lack thereof. Who's forcing you to be here? I can read this, or any, sites rules and decide if I want to participate. Eddit and Voat owe you nothing, it's their site and can do what they want with it. Voat admins are at least seeking input, but the final decisions are theirs, like it or not.
Necessary? The world functioned, and will continue to do so, without either. They were desired. And Eddit decided to make money off of it. There is no requirement to participate in them.
if it has the same rules as reddit.
It doesn't. If (speculation) or when it does, you are just as free then as you are now to not participate. What is so hard about "these are sites that are privately run and can set what rules they want. Participation is wholly voluntary"? You are entitled to jackshit.
Why split my sentence in half? Oh right that way you can obfuscate my point.
Reddit exists, voat exists. The reason voat has a user base is because people wanted an alternative to reddit. When voat starts implementing rules that are the same rules that exist on reddit, there is no reason to use voat. And this is the first step to making a friendlier site that 'investors will be happy with.' Investors meaning adverstisers. Meaning say goodbye to the word nigger, fat people hate, jailbait, anything that could be considered offensive.

Funny, I heard that same argument on reddit... Explain the necessity of voat if it has the same rules as reddit.
