Labour isn't necessarily influence, that is where things break down. Reddit knows that if all the malcontents (From their point of view) leave they will be replaced by newer content creators/community participants who either don't know the story or don't care. The problem with the Digg comparision is that the internet is a vastly different place today both from a legislative and a payment processing point of view. I would venture a guess that the legal and financial barriers to entry are and will continue to prevent anyone from making the next Reddit; or the next Twitter, for that matter. We've gone from the Wild West to the Dust Bowl, lads

>Reddit knows that if all the malcontents (From their point of view) leave they will be replaced by newer content creators/community participants who either don't know the story or don't care. Do they? What if the demographics of the malcontents and newer content creators is different? I'm not completely sure, but I think that the malcontents are the people who are noticing what is going on; while the potential newer content creators are the people who lack such an insight. If this idea is correct, then the malcontents leaving is effectively a brain drain.

>hey will be replaced by newer content creators/community participants I'm not sure why inserting discussion of content creation here. Totally irrelevant. Nor is it about participation, its about moderating. >The problem with the Digg comparision is that the internet is a vastly different place today both from a legislative and a payment processing point of view.

Funny I never gave digg or reddit any payment information.

  > Funny I never gave digg or reddit any payment information And you never saw any ads because you used a third aprty app and ablock? This is why reddit doesn't give a shit if you leave. You were never anything but a cost center to them. They're more worried about making money than replacing moderators.
