Replacing these volunteer moderators with paid moderators is obviously not in the cards, which can only mean Reddit wants to replace these volunteer moderators with other volunteer moderators. Assuming anyone volunteers in the first place.
Given that moderation is a thankless (and, in this case, unpaid) job, do you really think that many people with good intentions are stepping forward to take on that responsibility? Or is Reddit accidentally gonna recruit a bunch of trolls who turn r/apple into a hentai and piracy forum?
- ClassyJacket 3y agoYes. Yes I do think people will volunteer. There's never been a shortage of mods, in fact reddit has been way over-moderated for about 5 years now. I don't see why there would suddenly be a shortage now. People love having power.
