"They appear to get some kind of sadistic pleasure in reading ban appeals and denying them, knowing full well that the bans are improper and the appeals are justified."
Or they get pleasure by making more money, in not paying enough people to manual review issues.
- k8sToGo 5y agoI thought mods are unpaid?
- darebak 5y agoMods are not paid by Reddit, admins are paid but I think that some admins are also modding a few subs.
- commandlinefan 5y agoI'm conspiratorial enough to believe that some of the power mods are being paid, but not by reddit.
- darebak 5y agoThere are mods that are paid, for example mods that run a company subreddit. But, I am also sceptical about transparency of mods of large subreddit, ie the powermods.
- hajile 5y agoI've wondered for a while if reddit powermod /u/MaxwellHill isn't actually Ghislaine Maxwell (who apparently had some kind of association with former Reddit CEO Pao). Reddit would be a great place to run interference AND a place for her to find troubled kids for "recruitment". https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r45a5n/here_is_the_evidence_that_reddit_user_maxwellhill/ https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r45a5n/here_is_...
- MerelyMortal 5y agoThe r/cryptocurrency mods were paid by Reddit in their cryptocurrency called "moons" which can be traded for cash.
- bryans 5y agoExcept some of the people they've banned were making them lots of money, so it's not as simple as your suggestion.
