I've seen this movie so often I know all the lines. They come in and either buy out or leverage a mod, who brings in their cronies, some of whom also become mods.
They then begin banning content/users who don't align with their plan.
I've seen this go several ways. They either take over and use the sub for whatever, or tank the sub/message/whatever.
It's always incredibly frustrating seeing it from the inside. I've seen this firsthand done in personal life, business, online, everywhere. No aspect of existence has this shit not eroded.
The fact that we all just accept this as status quo is mind blowing. It's like rotten politicians in every movie. Why do we accept it?
FWIW I left reddit years ago after seeing exactly this happen to several subs.
- 0-_-0 6y agoIsn't this the point where the entire sub just moves to something like /r/realwallstreetbets or something other similarly named subreddit?
