Reddit should consider paying its moderators. Or employ moderators who don't use their vast unchecked powers to astroturf the site on behalf of shadowy companies.
- immibis 3y agoI moderated two large subreddits (on various accounts). They responded to this by permanently banning both the accounts and the subreddits. They don't want users.
- dahwolf 4y agoThat's not really the point, the issue is between AI companies and Reddit, specifically regarding API access.
- c7DJTLrn 4y agoI'm being snarky because Reddit wants to get paid while already profiting from free labor.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoI'm not an AI company but I believe these changes will impact me
- corbulo 4y agoSociety would not be better off if reddit mods had more economic power. The latter point isn't a bug it's a feature. Reddit is designed to function that way. The owners/execs have never expressed any interest in countering it outside of the limpest lip service imaginable.
