It’s obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It’s a thankless, difficult job that isn’t even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled.

So why stay? Why bother with protests and such when the company has made it clear they don’t value your work or your opinions? Why not just pull out en masse and let the place burn to the ground?

        Maybe a big chunk of traffic is modded by that sort of person, but not 95% of mods as individuals. So many “smaller” subreddits are modded by people that give a damn

        I personally never had an interaction with any mods, but I can imagine it being much like any other position of power within any type of human interaction. But, Tbf, the job is prob a pain in the ass, and I wouldn’t want it.

          yeah it’s a pain in the ass with no reward except for that slight amount of power which attracts only the mega losers to do the job
