If you control the top subreddits then I doubt you're actually moderating them. You're in fact just a manager over these subreddits. It's a hierarchical management structure with 5 people at the top of certain major subs.
Which makes this even stranger because why would these people want to be at the top? What's the motivation? Either pure power, or money.

- tobias3 6y agoWould that be legal in the US? (Intentionally deleting/promoting material as moderator without disclosing that you have been hired to do so and marking it as advertisement)
- anon73044 6y agoReddit is a "private" platform, mods are free to do as the please so long as they don't breach the terms of service. In this instance I'd say the T.o.S. needs a major overhaul.
- baq 6y agoit's private in the sense of ownership but it most certainly isn't private in the sense of impact on the public. same deal with other social networks like facebook. i don't see that much difference between a publicly and privately owned psy-ops weapons which open social networks have become.
- anon73044 6y agoI don't disagree, we just don't really have any laws that protect free speech on the internet
