The funniest part of the article is how he’s slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying “they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free”.

    Pretty damn rich coming from the CEO of a website that makes no content of its own.

      Never mind all those mods who work for free that they’re chosing to screw over and sabotage. I’m sure this won’t have any negative consequences.

        We’re gonna see reddit go the “free speech” route because that’s cheaper than hiring mods. Course they could have kept things the way they were and got their mods for free, but w/e lmao.

        Reddit is gonna get flooded with garbage content and bigoted shit and most people are gonna leave. Hopefully they’ll come here.

      Isn’t that how billionaires make their money? They underpay (or not pay) everyone else but get everyone to pay them.
